Re: Zclass no 67.

I doubt that Z1 67 would be suitable in a museum to represent Zos as it was
a prototype modified tram for one person operation. The bulk head behind
the driver was moved back, giving the driver more space. The seats were
cloth covered. It had a large heavy security door for the driver. For some
odd reason a single windscreen wiper was fitted. I also seem to remember it
had a trial pantograph put on it. But it all must have cost too much as
management went for a much cheaper option with the rest.

Z1 5 also had an alteration many years ago, but although I cannot recall
precisely what it was, it was something to do with the cutting out of
motors.

Subject: [TramsDownUnder] Zclass no 67.

I have been informed that Z class no 67 has been sold to the
Lilydale area.This car was one of the few Z class cars to be given
an 01 overhaul.Barring electrical problems this should have been the
car for the T.M.S.V as it had a reasonable body.Perhaps there were
other reasons for its withdrawal.
If any body from any of the museums are reading this,the cars to go
after are.No 83,a/c best condition of the cars left with boselli
destination signs.
I have been informed no 5 is the worst car in this group.
No 70 would be one to consider as this was the last car to get a
full dody overhaul in 1978.It replaced no 109 which was destroyed by
fire in April 1996. I was given this imformation re these cars by
Geoff Dean,a Malvern Driver.
