QLD Transport Museum

Greenpeace · Dec 19, 2022

I've probably driven past a 1000 times and today I finally stopped and had a squiz. If you're ever travelling from Brisbane to Toowoomba take the route through Gatton, it's worth a look.
Oh and there's one French car for the Peugeot enthusiast.

The yellow wagon may have come from Casterton. The buyer was most unhappy and I wished I never made the introduction. If it is the same the buyer left an eloquent description of the seller on this site. He said it would be painted yellow and go into a museum so it may be the car.

No idea. Most of the vehicles in there are privately owned and just there for display, they're not owned by the museum.

Good range of old transport vehicles. We (my Dad) had a Ford F600 same model as the green/black one in this museum, ours had a 20 ft tray body, for general farm use, wheat carting, etc. It was quite a pokey truck on the highway, OHV V8 petrol if I remember correctly.

Yes most of the mid sized F series of this era had the 292 Y block in them. Strong old engines and they sound great.

Called in again today. Quite a few different vehicles on display. Some of the trucks are better than new, can't help but appreciate the time and effort that must go to into restoring them.
The little Mitsubishi fire truck only has 3700 kms on it. Interestingly the twin cylinder fire pump is badged as a Fuji/Robin so they must have made the Robins under licence?
