Matt, around Newtown and Todman Ave had tracks with a thin strip over the
rail heads till at least a few years ago, bee a while since I last checked,
Rozelle depot is still very much like it was with signs still outside
telling conductors not to ride on the footboards, of course, the Sydney
council owned (now Sper's responsibility I believe) R and R1's live in there
(quite vandalised I believe too) waiting for a settlement of some sort of
dispute.

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?
