Gday  Dean, All

Callantina hill was also 1/15 grade

I had a BTH W2 on Cotham Rds and picked up a load of kids half way up
Callantina hill.

The tram was full, really full, and as I notched up when I cut a parallel
notch the line breaker blew.

I tried again and it happened again

Knowing BTH motors, I went up Calantina hill in series to the top of the hill

Cheers,    Mick
