[TramsDownUnder] FW: HOBART TROLLEYBUSES

Can anyone (maybe Roger Greenwood?)  advise the numbers of the decrepitations trolleybuses in the attached picture. The detail is sought by Richard Horne (see incoming e-mail below) who photographed the vehicles recently in Hobart during a visit from UK, where he worked for many years as a British Railways Heritage architect, though originally grew up in Adelaide and is our most preeminent authority on Adelaide's horse trams. Thank you

John Radcliffe

Dear John,

 

When I was in Hobart last April, I photographed these two trolleybuses, stored by the City Council. The fleet numbers I noted for them are clearly impossible (can't now recall how I got them), so I wonder if you would put the photos on TDU for me, with a request for their numbers? I can find no mention of them on the internet.

 

At the same location, but in covered accommodation, were the restored (by Bendigo) double deck tram 17 and single deck 39, along with the body of bogie car 118. In the open, next to the trolleybuses, was the lower deck saloon of tram 7. Elsewhere were two more bogie car bodies, completely wrapped up, so I've no idea of their identities.

 

Cheers,

 

Richard
