Facinating storey
Fageol engines..... 6 cylinders.... were used by Twin Coach and used by the Winnipeg transit in early 50s...... the engine is referred to as a Hall Scott engine (gas, propane,diesel)
One of the Fageol owner was a racing boat ut and raced a 404 c.i. 6 cylinder rated at 275 HP...... .... and the Fageol history is intertwined with Peterbilt trucks...... Fageol trucks were also optionaly equipped with International and Waukesah engines over the years. ...wonder if it fits in the barn doors....... now where is my chain saw....?? ....Rob and Grant are going to kill me...... Bob

thats pretty cool..I kinda remember having a photo of one in the old Convoy magazines in an issue dealing with snow machines....but i thought it had 20in tires..which this obviously doesnt...appears to have the same size as the penguins
I kinda remember one sitting at the Long Point base in Mtl..but it disappeared.?

Great Picture Ed ! Thats the creature, including the red maple leafon the rear area and the numbers on the door. Can you read the number on the door? They are almost legible . I looked at my pictures again and they begin with 52 meaning 1952 and then several digits follow. I wonder if it is the same machine. I will dig out some old pictures and see if I can read the numbers on my machine...By the way what is the cable like apparatus on the front- tow cables perhaps??...Bob

....numbers.....
.... I read on Bob's picture....
52 9xxx2 on Ed's picture 52 92341 or 52 92541 ....I would gamble to say 52 92341 and one number higher for Bob's at xxx42 That would make them close cousins..... Isn't insomnia great..... Bob

Been watching this thread with interest, what a terrific looking beast. Reminded me greatly of a childhood icon, the "Chariot" from lost in Space. However I have just done a bit of reminiscing with the aid of Google and my memories are a bit out.
We don't get much gear like this over here in Oz, so it is a bit of a treat to see these vehicles, hope that it finds a good home in the near future. Rich.
