tramcar trev
all manner of mechanical apparatus...
Wow it pays to be in a G scale niche, I just won an enclosed bachmann tram for AU$92 posted from dear old blighty and yes I won a new AMS Cable Car for AU$87 posted from au....
the Tram is the one with rusty springs on the pole but at that price as as I'm gunna repaint it and put my own pole on it (might even try the leadlight glass on the end quarter lights) I think by Australian standards I got a sensible bargain, new here they are around the $170 - $200 mark. The Cable car is a steal at that price wow Im stunned. It will be converted into a Sydney cable car that ran on the King St to Edgecliff route. So the longitudinal seating will have to be replaced and signage will have to go. This route was also unique in as much as the power for headlights etc was delivered from an overhead wire.... This route was set up by an american so had turntables at each end, the northshore cable line used grip cars towing trailers....
Please forgive my little gloat.... I'm broke now!!!!
