For Doodlebugs, I have heard the term "Gas Electric" used as well, which I have heard over the years.

Pete and John, 

While motor car may have been the official name, these vehicle had all sorts of nick names, some not so gracious, used by real railroads. Among them were putt-putt, track-maintenance car, crew car, jigger, trike, quad, trolley or inspection car. I personally know that some Q railroaders around Chicago called them putt putts. 

Now, if you call those machines motor cars, what do you call a gas electric car such as no. 9844 or 9845? Those were also called motor cars as well as doodlebugs, etc. 

It's just semantics and local vernacular. Until the railfans coined it, I never heard of a diesel locomotive consist referred to as a lash up and I worked many years for a company that built some of them.
