Re: Windsplitters.

Your memories are correct and the FM's were much longer.

Subject: [TramsDownUnder] Windsplitters.

My memories o Brisbane tell me that there were certain curves where
cars were not permitted to pass,am I right?.Is this why cars had
tapered ends?Not droppies or dreadnoughts,only the later cars,maybe
the older cars were shorter,I havn't got a copy o "Destination
Valley" to check this.I think traction wise the modern cars were
equivalent to Melbournes SW6 cars,also the trucks like Melb. No.15.It
was a nice system,smaller than Melb. but just as busy,v.co-operative
trammies as well.Clem Jones,Mayor o Brisbane,will always be
remembered and never pardoned or his destruction o the tramway
system.Regards to all,Peter Bruce.P.S.I will contribute to the great
W class debate in next post,perhaps someone can correct me i I've got
Brisbane stu arse about.[my computer won't reproduce the letter
between e and g,except when I don't want it to,why is this so?]
