Reckon you're right about the age. Though not, as far as I know, about their
going to Northland. As to topicality, you're home free with that tram in sight,
even if it is third in the queue. I'd say that the tracks and wires alone
qualify you.
I'm just now looking at a magazine picture of a lopsided in Hobart of probably
the same vintage as the one you show ("Regal", I think it says.) I'm going to
scan it and maybe try to get away with posting it, with the excuse that there
is a trolley barely visible in the background.
No real contest. You'll still be shooting long after I've run out of
ammunition. It's not over just yet, however.

Folowing the posting of the fact there is a valuable relic of the
tramway days at the site of the old siding here.>

( Finally was able to sneak in a shot of a Wellington "lopsided" bus
without infringing the topic really badly !! ) Though not as old as
the ones that went to Northalnd with the crash boxes.
