RE: Pictures from Outing

Hi Chris,Nice shot. It's good to see Melbourne equipment getting around the world. I am old enough (31 yesterday!) to have grown up in Melbourne, Australia while many of these cars were still in regular service. They had semi-open centre sections, and date from the 1920s. The last of them were retired about fourteen years ago, but I remember them well. I did get the opportunity to drive these cars at Melbourne's tramway museum and enjoyed it immensely. The attached pic (thanks to Clive Mottram) is how I remember them, with canvas blinds, open centres and timber seats. They sounded like real trams too! Aaah, the memories. I missed the opportunity of purchasing one, complete and operable, back in 1987. As a high school kid, I didn't have the $700 AUD at the time, although I nearly cry now to think about it! There are now a number of these cars operating in the US, having been purchased and rebuilt by Gomaco of Iowa. I'll get around to building one for MSTS sometime.Cheers,
Matt A
