FEEDBACK

Name: Freight Train

1970 Bedford bus, built in Western Australia & based on the 'J' series truck.  This bus has been a South Australian School bus, finishing this part of it's life in Mt Gambier, where it was driven by the company owners wife, then forced into retirement because of age laws and sat for 3 years until I purchased it.  And so it's new life began;

Freight Train Feedback

Objective: Tocreate a weekender motorhome for use on holidays while we turn it into a self suffient low cost holiday unit that can park anywhere & provide as close a lifestyle as you would find at home. (Before I retire).

Freight Train runs it's original straight 6 Bedford 300 petrol motor with a reco LPG head & steel inserts, Non syncro gearbox, (This will change), & dual battery's so overnight power does not prevent starting the motor the next day.
