Good point, Peter.
I bet the Tramways Union would have been against them.
The real name of that union was the Australian Motor Omnibus and Employees
Association.
I had a top secret security clearance in the US Army in the mid-60s and I
remember the DD-398 form "Application for Security Clearance" had a list of
what they termed "subversive organisations" on it. You had to indicate if
you had ever belonged to any of them. The only Australian organisation
listed was the ATMO&EA because it was considered Maoist because of their
Secretary Clarrie O'Shea.

Of course, a modern tramcar cost more to build (like it had
DOORS!); seems to me like a failure in imagination on the part
of M&MTB! They could have at least have run up some more
W2s for Collins and gone with Y derivatives for later builds.
Not as much fun to ride as a W on a nice day, but mighty
welcome on a cool, wet one! Maybe too easy to one-man??
