Re: Wellington: Haitaitai Tunnel in 1961

Don,a lovely shot,more please and as big as they need to be and post
to photos rather than files.We havn't heard from WGB yet,I expect he
has fainted,Phuds do that to him.Re West Coburg and seeing how fast
you could go,I did once have to pull the key at Royal Park station on
the up,running in of course!!On another subject,when South Melbourne
Beach was rerouted from City Rd.diverge to Nolan St.I was running a
Beach car and when we took the straight at City Rd.all hell broke
loose,you could hear people shouting and falling over one another to
get to the bell cord.The average commuter doesn't take kindly to his
sacred routine being disturbed and panics,fortunately my connie was
able to restore calm but there was a lot of audible muttering for a
time,ah well,at least they had something to tell the wife about when
they got home,we may have even saved a marriage or two.PBruce.--- In

This is my first experiment in posting a picture to this group. My

apologies to

any who find it too large.

While living in NZ in 1960-1962 I was tightly closeted as a

railfan, and shot

only a few slides on the subject - a literal handful when it came

to trams and

trolleybuses. Now at long last I have slide-scanning capabilities

and am poised

to share these few.

I think the image both supports and requires the large format, and

have done

all I could to cut down the file size. Here are some options. I can:

1. Post to the group's Files (problem is, pictures in Files seem to

be severely

compressed: compare some of WGB's pictures attached to messages

with the same

pictures in Files.)

2. Post in a smaller format and offer the larger one privately to

anybody who

might be interested.

3. Post to Usenet (ABPR and ABPV - actually, I'll probably be doing

that

anyway.)

4. Post other pictures just as I have done this one. After all,

there are only

a handful, with another handful shot in Australia.

5. Go away ;-)

Comments welcome,
