Ron,

The linebreaker only made a decent noise if power were cut under load. Somewhere like Cutting Off climbing Collins St at Russel St.

I don’t know if W8 cars have linebreakers. If so, there may be a spot on the Latrobe St hills where you might get the sound. Otherwise a friendly driver might make a few pops for you on request.

I'm making good progress with the Simulator. Next task is to go through all the sound files you have kindly uploaded for me to choose the best starting, stopping, coasting etc bits. I'm hoping I'll get a nice line-breaker pop and hopefully a good compressor clip. I'm hoping eventually to simulate a set of points being set for the curve - that sound with first notch cut and the brakes on, with the clunk of the point blades and the thwack of the line-breaker! I guess "first generation" trams are to us (well, all right, some of us) what steam trains are to train enthusiasts!
