Re: Re: Re: Getting a vintage tram system going in Melbourne

Quite right, Peter.

That means we need to start a support group here just to encourage the
project, iron out any bumps along the way and do a bit of PR.

G'day Peter E.My message 1205 was meant to address these distracting
issues,interesting though they are.I feel sure that once we have Ws

operating

in service again that they, along with the Restaurant Cars will be an
effective precedent to occasional[at least]operation of the heritage

fleet.In

the short term the operators may have enough trouble accepting W class
operation,I am reassured by Greg Kings message 1218 re W modification

and

training.I would be concerned that Yarra and M might resist further
developements out of bloodymindedness if it is pushed too soon.That

doesn't

mean that we shouldn't be thinking,planning and working towards some

form of

heritage operation,maybe along the lines of Trolley Week...

Incremental approaches are often the best way to get things done.

This--and

Greg's post regarding the mechanics getting the cars reworked--as a
condition of the Yarra Trams franchise--is encouraging news. Keep it up,
gang!
