Re: [TramsDownUnder] Work well underway on Wattle Park iconic trams

The two trams are 777 and 746.

Mal Rowe - attaching a pic of 746 when it was on loan from Brunswick for the race traffic at Moonee Valley a few years back.

"Wattle Park's love affair with trams is set to roll on as two iconic heritage trams are being given a second lease on life as unique picnic shelters for families to enjoy when visiting the park. The new tram-shaped picnic shelters form part of Parks Victoria's Wattle Park upgrades. The two new W-Class tram-shaped picnic shelters will replace the park's existing tram shelters which have been damaged by vandalism."

 

"Tram-shaped" being the operative word here. Looking at the photos, there doesn't appear to be much original left of SW5 777. Does anyone know which other tram is being turned into a "unique picnic shelter"?

 

All aboard! Work well underway on Wattle Park iconic trams

 

Best wishes,
