Hi Bob
No there is no negative return installed on our overhead, in the past when
we've moved trolleybuses we've used a wandering skate or batteries.
All the t/buses onsite at MOTAT are housed inside on display or stored in
perpetuity until such time as there are additional enthusiastic volunteers
to do something with them. I understand the leased ones at Foxton may be out
in the open presently.
Cheers for today
David

Blunt?
That's very matter of fact.
At least the trolley buses can stand being out in the weather better than
trams with wood and canvas roofs (sp?). I guess their weakest spot rust-wise
would be around the windows and perhaps at the base of the trolley poles.
I'm glad you guys have saved some trolley buses.
Is there an earth return wire on the MOTAT overhead so you can operate the
trolley buses?
