The train to Tassie

[customFC]

A fellow member of the NSW club - Ted Lowe, came across some original Holden photos whilst looking through an antique store. Ted does not visit the boards, but thanks must go to him for copying the pics to share them around. Here's the first, a train load of new FEs headed for Tasmania.

It's OK, I think they wound the windows up first.


Cheers,

Graham.

P.S. Great photos!

Either it's just the black and white photo, or white is the preferred colour of Taswegians!!

Hi fellas.
If I am not mistaken, that is in the Hobart railyards (they are gone now). That is one of a series taken by a fella called "Beattie". I sent a few shots to Ken McLean & there is one in that, which is the same train, taken from a different angle.

As for the Tassie Weather joke..hahahahahahahahahahahahahah...I never get tired of them
You may like to note, that it is actually SUPER, DUPER sunny & that is the brilliant Tassie sun that makes those cars gleam so well

Is it true that all FE & FC exported to Tasmania came standard with NASCO heaters and demisters already fitted.

Hahahahahaha.

How is the Cop car going you have been really quiet of late.

Hi Jim.
Yes, I must confess, it is true! But you forgot to mention the NASCO mittens & beanie set, that were supplied in the glovebox of each car

Copcar has moved house to my place, but I am opening my own business & have been crazy busy. I am supplying a few stalls at a big music festival down here over the New Years & have been baking tonnes & tonnes of breads & pastries for them. Bloody hippies & the munchies they get!
I will get there soon though!
