Newport 2026 - Australian Dingo Scout Car

A Dingo Scout Car outside of the West Block of the Newport Railway Workhops during the 2026 Open Day. The Australian Dingo Scout Car was built on a modified Ford chassis with a Ford V8 engine. The railway connection comes from the bullet-proof plate (AMP-3) body made in the Newport Workshops. In 1942 245 of these scout cars were built to counter the threat of a Japanese invasion. The Dingo was replaced by more capable cars without seeing active service.
