Here is a photographic tribute to those who saved VR 41 from being broken up and those who did the work on its restoration.

01—VR 41 as landed at Haddon after its trip from Elwood by road. The tram was given to Haddon for nothing by a builder who wanted it removed from a property he was about to start new work on, near the former Elwood tram depot. 1978.
02—The sun didn't set on VR 41 after all. 41 on track at Haddon, where No. 2 shed was to be built. 1978.

Fast forward many years and VR 41 was sent to Bendigo Tramways for complete restoration.

03_The late George Stirling works on 41's floor slats at Bendigo. 2005.
04_The late Denis Rodda and Luke Jenkins placing a new apron on VR 41. 2005.
05_The late George Stirling working on 41's cab windows. 2005.
06_Woody the painter at work on No. 41. Woody, George and Denis all formerly worked at the North Bendigo railway workshops. 2005.
07_Staff from the Bendigo firm Signarama putting the ornate line work on VR 41. 2005.
08_VR 41 at the Bendigo tram depot after restoration had been completed. 2005.

Cheers,
Andrew Cook (who was one of those that saved VR 41).
