Trams: Is There Much Tramway Interest On Here??

One has to wonder about safety, 4 bods in safety garb. I wonder how we allow cars and busses on the roads these days without a bloke or 4 in safety gear with red flags walking in front!

But lovely to see a horse tram, very under represented these days.

If any of you are in, or within range of, London this coming weekend, I can confirm that there will be G Scale at the London Festival of Railway Modelling, being held at Alexandra Palace on 15th & 16th March . . . in the shape of the Whiteleaf Tramway.

I thought you might be interested to see a couple of pictures of the 53-foot end-to-end tramway layout we took to Ally Pally at the weekend.

View from Lacey Green (balloon loop and tram shed) towards Bryants Bottom (passing loop) and on to Town Square . . .

Of course, with overhead wiring on a demountable layout, problems could occur, but the maintenance section is ready and waiting . . .

. . . and, if the problems get worse, they can always call on the local bus operator to maintain the service . . .

While we ran a very mixed fleet (track power and on-board battery; and trams in various liveries), I couldn't resist posing my corporately-liveried LGB trams outside the shed after the public had all left on Saturday afternoon . . .

Next outings (of different versions of our modular layout) are in Southampton and Guildford in June.
