Re: [TramsDownUnder] A puzzle for you

Yes, that's what I had in mind.

I was told (by Ron S) that it was used as the prototype for strengthening the body after the Combinos developed cracks in the car frame.

Attached pic shows some of the bracing - which resulted in loss of some seats near the trucks.

Mal Rowe - not a fan of the Combinos (although I know drivers like them)

Greetings All,

3507 was sent back to Germany for repairs to its body work after a collision with a road working machine.

It was also supposed to be 'upgraded', but this did not happen.

Once repaired it was returned to Melbourne.

I suggest that Melbourne's Combino No 3507 is probably the most
travelled Combino in the world.

Yesterday's pic attached.

Why can I make this claim?

Mal Rowe - happy to hear another nomination.
