Re: Re: W2 vs others

Funny Greg. There's no defining taste. I reckon the W-2s are aesthetically
much nicer than the later Ws. As for the Brisbane cars...is somebody
kidding? Still looks like a wedge splitter from the front and a Calcutta
tenement from the side to my eyes.

As for Sydney R class. We've got some common ground there. I think they
were one of the prettiest cars ever.

Peter,

Yes, Neil is still at South, spoke to him today, only City Circles back at
the moment but have heard the new brake actuators that replace all under
body rigging, is fantastic, according to Neil, "best W he has ever

driven".

Re W2's being best cars etc., really Bruce, I think you need a little

rest,

I liked them too, but attractive, not by a long shot compared to a

Brisbane

FM or Sydney R/R1 or even later W's!!

Greg

-WGB,you have excelled yourself today,great shots of skinny trams,re

temporary axle sets,I think they called them false trucks here on the
M&MTB,I am really dredging in my memory here,maybe someone can tell me if
I'm dreamin'.We need Neil Elfick on this list,is he still in the shed at
Southbank?He was a motorman in Brisbane,wasn't he?Spoke briefly to John
Stewart tonight,said he was training on Ws this week,presumably for their
re-introduction to service at Southbank,progress report Greg?,also maybe

you

can answer re Neil.FM cars and Brisbane generally great but for looks an
unadorned W2 as in WGBs Batman Ave. shot umpteen posts ago gets my vote

for

Australian tram of the century{millenium/s] neck and neck with Sydneys O
class,can I revive this potentially raging controversy?Regards to

all,PBruce
