Haven't been able to find it on the net apart from library's to provide a link.
It's full of great footage taken from trams in the 50's & 60's including streets full of cars from the era, lots of FC's & FE's. Relevant to this post is footage of a semi load of FC bodies going through town I presume heading to Melbourne. The truck looks something like a Comer perhaps. I'll try to upload a snip of it.

Should be an interesting model when finished.

Keep it coming ! ;D Cheers Title: Re: FC's on an F-Truck Post by: DJ on February 06, 2014, 12:06:59 PM Some interesting history on trams & a good example of what the community spirit can achieve.
Many drivers now would have never needed to use hand signals. Title: Re: FC's on an F-Truck Post by: HAD 708 on February 06, 2014, 09:05:10 PM WOW what a great video clip the cars and the history is great and all the FE FC's :) :) :)
