 An older Bedford on the rightis seen inside the Museum in 2001. Though the bus looks like a Bedford OB the chassis is constructed from mainly General Motors pre-war truck parts with the front axle is from a pre-war REO andd the rear axle assembly and transmission are war-time Ford parts. The body is Syd Wood and the engine Perkins. Commissioned by Jamieson's Bus Service it worked between Hurstville Railway Station and Carss Park from 1957 until 1976 with rego MO100. It was acquired for preservation in 1986, joining the Museum Collection in 2012. It is alongside Leyland Tiger OPS4 tender. The Tiger was new to the M&MTB in Melbourne, passing to Perth who initially used it as a bus before converting it to its current form. |
