Watt Bros Bedford - anyone remember it?

[aussieneil]

I came across this old Bedford with Watt Bros body today. The owner thought it may have been Redline originally, and also thinks it may have operated in or near Wagga Wagga in the past. Does anyone know the bus, or at least the year of manufacture? It certainly was a thing of beauty! Timber frame is now largely rotted, unfortunately.

Fearne's had this at Wagga. I think it was later at their Harden depot as well.

Thanks for that! Further research indicates it was actually built for Fearnes in 1959. Reg was MO3584. Amazing what information can be gleaned from this group!
