Same place, same number, 41 years later

As promised, here is (literally) a today shot to match Don's. Sorry about
the lower quality compared with Don's slide - my 1998 digital camera isn't
quite up to the specs of Don's 1961 slide film! (Plus it was too early in
the day.) The vehicle number match was a sheer fluke. Honest.

Subject: [TramsDownUnder] Wellington: Haitaitai Tunnel in 1961


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,
