Re: Re: WA trams, then and now

Hi Roy,

Of course you are correct with regards to the 62E. With regards to Freo 36,
can a humbly suggest that when it's restored, and when Melb finally releases
the stored W's, that you attempt to use #15's under this car, Sydney #13's
would be a lot closer but the 15's are close too. Sydney is considering
producing there own #13's in the future (with all the corridor cars waiting
in the wings) and it might be useful to keep this in mind.

I can't put my fingure on my copy of Dest Subi at the mo', so I will
work off memory about car details:

PETS has the following cars- all stored under cover, bar one:

Fremantle Municipal Tramways:

FMT 14- single truck californian combination- last of original 1905
batch purchased to commence tramway operations. Awaits restoration-
no truck- imported in kit form, assembled in the FMT Carbarn, High
Street Freo Retired early 1950's

FMT 28 and 29- bogie saloon cars- almost identical to Perth D Class
cars. Built 1921 at Midland Railway Workshops. 29 restored 1992 with
Brill 77E trucks ex-Kagoshima in lieu of Brill 62E max-trax (am I
right Greg?????). 28's body is in VGC, but is well down the
restoration list- used currently as sleepout within the Carbarn.
Retired 1952

FMT 36- bogie saloon- 1939 FMT Workshops- last car built for WA
tramways- used modified Melb No. 9 trucks. Partly restored by
previous owner for use as a devonshire tea joint- in great nick and
well up the restoration wish list. Retired 1952
