I don't spend much time in Sydney anymore but about 10 years ago I was up
real early in the morning and was on the top of the ramp on the corner of
the main train station and there was a huge amount of special work visible
in the street in the slanting light. It was quite visible, rivalling the
special work at the Breakfast Creek Bridge in Brisbane which was also very
visible through a thin layer of bitumen 10 years ago.

There's a point, does Hong Kong count as down under? Of course, it usuallybusy
wouldn't, but it is closer to us here in Australia than it is to some
places! I just spent some time there and the system is fantastic, quite
worth the effort of getting there. It is probably the best example of a
tramway system doing what it was built for. Does anyone have plans of thecourse)?
cars as they are today, I wouldn't mind having a go at one in HO?
In other things, does anyone have any info as to what remains in Sydney of
their original system (other than the fine collection at Loftus, of
I've seen the bus area around Randwick racecourse, the old ROW to LaPerouse
and a few shelters here and there, as well as some of the depots (Newtown
being the most interesting, it looks as if it was closed up and abandoned
years ago). Are there any lengths of track visible in streets anywhere?
