Given that we are up to post #325 on page 17, I take it that there isn't much tramway interest on this forum

.Seriously though it's a great thread, and lots of brilliant modelling
Been 4 days since some pics posted on here so I thought that I should attend to that. Beamish 14-10-2015 on a good day when there were at least 3 cars out working.
Some from Melbourne, maybe one or two posted earlier:
... and finally another from Bad Schandau...

Mmm, interesting. Not sure that we'd make Melbourne, we have got quite fed up with flying
The trams were a bit different in Melbourne 25 years ago...............
The W class cars were all crew operated (driver + conductor). There were qute a few modern one-man cars around as well though.
Does the "heritage" city circular service (30?) still operate with the older cars. By the time I got there again in 2003 & 2004, that was the only service operating the old ones.

You will not regret it, just make sure that you allow as much time as you possibly can in the site. An awful lot to see with 3SG Railways and a 2ft Line in addition to all the Trams and the Pub in the High Street. Wonderful day out. Oh nearly forgot a Miniature line that is possibly 5" or 7.25" not sure which but this only tends to run at Special Events I think.Probably won't get to Wisconsin, may have to take the Memsahib to Beamish - never bin there

Well we all like a little project but how about this a Battery Tram that looked like a Steam Tram? Owned by Birmingham Central Tramways was probably though to be the future after Steam Trams, but sadly never got much further than being a Depot Shunter and moving Cable Cars from the Inner Line or the Outer Cable Tram Lines at Hockley Brook.
That was contemporary with gas, compressed air, and clockwork tram engines. Fascinating stuff!
