G'Day
I have a particular interest in this tram, now under refurbishment by the Perth Electric Tramway Society at Whiteman Park, WA.
I have a rather large collection of prints of other Phoenix cars (FM's 547-554), but the only photos I have seen of 550 is a side on shot showing Chinzano Signage in the book Tramways of Australia and its front nose at Light Street Depot in 1968.
I am wondering if anyone out there has any other photos of 550, either in service 1963-1969 or in its retirement 1969 onwards. I would be very pleased to hear from you.
For those not in the know, this tram was stored outside for many years and was in a rather rough stse when it came into PETS ownership. However, the bulk of the body has been refurbished by the excellent crew at the Sydney Tramway Museum, prior to its long trek across the continent.
Cheers
