Trams, Trolleys and Streetcars @lemmy.blahaj.zone CelloMike @lemmy.world 2mo ago Couple of old lads from the Auckland Museum of Transport and Technology a couple of years ago
Is the green one a Melbourne tram imported as a museum piece, or did they use the same design in New Zealand?
Good spot! Took a bit of digging but yeah that's Melbourne 893, built 1944, withdrawn 1997 and shipped to NZ in 2008
Isn't very visible here but I remember finding the mechanism that lets them have a roller door going through the overhead wire very cool
