Re: [TramsDownUnder] Both sides of the ditch

They are a regular source of problems on SW6 and later trams - with rust in the lower pane frame and jamming on the middle frame.

The 881 design is more like the original SW5s - and Sydney's R and R1 class trams and IMHO looks a lot better.

Mal Rowe - who reckons the best looking SW6 was 850 for that reason.

Yep! She does a good trade most sundays. 881 normally comes out in foul weather or busy event weekends whereas 466 (Briefly renumbered as Auckland 257) is the main runner.

Scrolling through some old photos I found the attached pic of Melbourne 881 in LaTrobe St. some 20 years ago.

The car, now restored (and improved by those clever Kiwis) now runs in Auckland on the repeatedly resurrected Dockline Tramway.

Mal Rowe - impressed by their work
