A great restoration which won the Bill Kingsley award for achievement at the recent conference of the tramway museums of Australasia.

Hi All,
I just found and joined this group so I'm sorry if this is out of line (get the joke ;) ) of me but I have some exciting news for y'all being Tram Enthusiasts like myself.
Hills Car #24 has officially finished it's beautiful restoration! The Tramway Heritage Society had the unveiling ceremony on Saturday so expect to see her on the Christchurch Loop on sunny days.
Even had a Gentleman making a speech who was given the chance as an 11 year old to operate her, you could see the inner kid come out as he spoke about a moment that outlasted Boon & Company's handiwork.
Sadly since it's been restored to a state fit for tourists, there is some modifications that have been made, E-Brakes and the like, but in the name of safety they had to be made.
I've got photos from the ceremony and videos if it's so desired.
