Re: TAN: Auckland Trolley Busses

I used to drive trolley buses in San Francisco, Bill. I really like them.
And no damn engine noise, just the same kind of compressor noise as on an
air-brake car. I wouldn't mind having a steer of one under a reasonable bit
of wire.

I wouldn't be surprised if they make a come back when we run out of oil.

In a rather disgraceful episode Auckland's trolley buses went off the

Have you guys saved any of them. They're real easy to run if you have

600v

overhead and if you can fix a tram they are easy to keep going.

There are some at Foxton (sp?) if I recall correctly.

Cheers,

Bill
