Re: Melbourne, Christchurch

Hi Val,

Sorry, don't know what they are, but would be about 60hp I think, probably
Chinese copies of GE or british types (Dick Kerr, BTH etc.)

Andrew,

To add to your treatise about the 21E and it's copies, they are STILL

being

made in Hong Kong as required, the Hong Kong tramways will build you a

brand

new powered Brill 21 E truck with motors (modern class F insulation)
complete with reslient wheels. Back in 1992 when I was working on a

project

for what became the Casino here, I had to investigate obtaining trucks

for

replica open cars, Hong Kong Quoted me (if memory serves) $125,000 for
truck, controllers and air compressor!!! They have all the patterns and

the

wheels are made in mainland China. The Hong Kong cars ride exceptionally
well for 4 wheel (and incredibly weel for 21E) as they have replaced much

of

the steel springing with rubber blocks etc. These cars are double deck

and

narrow gauge too. They will make standard gauge as required as they did

do

for a tourist tramway (complete trams in fact) in England.
