Re: Trams - New Insulator Markings

Bugger!

Thanks, Greg.

Did the pantograph work OK?

What car do you own, Greg?

Hi Bob,

When 546 was retired, it was used to test pantograph fitting and was run
around the shops with it, the panto was similar to look at as the Citadis.
Ultimately, 533 received the panto as a test car with the panto the wrong
way around (ie the "elbow" facing short end, most unattractive way to do

it,

like the Red Arrow lines in Philly and the Long Beach LRT cars) and was

run

on the LRT lines. It was destroyed by fire during the start of the big

union

uprising in 1989-1990, the remains were scavanged for parts along with the
other W2's that went to the US and, the panto went to the US with them (I
know, I managed to save a few parts for my car and tried in vain to save

the

panto).

I saw a W-2 with pantographs years ago. I think it was a works or test

car.
