Title: Provenance for my FC wagon Post by: Daveh on December 22, 2015, 09:39:39 AM I have recently obtained my FC special wagon and about to begin a full restoration.
What I'm chasing is its provenance. I bought it from a guy in South Australia (Port Augusta) who bought it from a guy in Victoria, Kilsyth- who also owns/ed a double green FC ( I'm assuming a wagon) he apparently used/Es it to display around Victoria, anyway he had bought mine from Qld for spares, realised it was too good for scrap and had sold it on. So does anyone know this guy from Victoria? I would like to know where in Qld he got it and of course any history he can supply. ( the guy he sold it to in SA was unable to do anything with it so it is in the same condition as when he sold it 6 odd years ago) ....but not for long!

Title: Re: Provenance for my FC wagon Post by: mcl1959 on December 22, 2015, 09:35:40 PM I have no record of the wagon at all. Sorry I can't help in identifying the previous owner.
Black and yellow wagon should be pretty memorable if anyone had seen it. Very few of these around. Ken |
