Here's a very similar vehicle that I stumbled across.

Wow, that photo is just about the same as the model, see it came from the University of Otago collection.

Good score, thank you.

It's one of a number of images held by the Hocken Library, and also I believe by the National Library (who may have the negatives) but not online.  It seems that the carriage builder (a Christchurch company) had maker's photos taken of at least some of its production.

I've an occasional and passing interest in such things in 1:64 (which I think I've posted here before).

Yes, Lawrence, I definitely remember the blue wagon. Superb work, especially considering the small scale. A nice little Christmas gift for the forum. -- Russ
