THE OUTSTANDING TRAM RESTORATION of SW6 881 for The Dockline Tram Auckland

[@aussiejohn5835]

Fantastic video and amazing restoration. I love the return of the trolley pole. I was interested to see a W Class Melbourne tram in Christchurch when I last visited in 2019.

The whole tram looks great. The trolley pole is a nice touch and has no chance of de wiring as the tram won't travel fast enough!

Good to see the W class.

[@Schony747]

Yes mate and 881 looks great!

[@heathertruskinger6214]

They have done a wonderful restoration job 🙂

[@Schony747]

And it's a great tram to drive as well!

What a great restoration and a great video of it! It does my heart good to see something like this that professionally preserves and updates a piece of rail transit history. And it's nice to see proper trolley poles in use. But I'm still not used to seeing flashing turn signals on a streetcar. It makes sense, I know, but it is still a bit amusing. Cheers from Wisconsin!

It's an amazing refurbishment! While it's not 100% traditional which upsets some people, it sets a pretty high bar!

Amazing! What editing software do you use

[@Schony747]

Corel Videostudio. It's well priced and easy to use.

[@patrickbryant5224]

852 is looking pretty good "as is". Did they let you have a drive Brenden?

[@Schony747]

Mate I took 881 for a spin. I'm qualified and probably one of a handful in NZ that can drive a vigilance tram. 852 has been undercover for many years. I'd it's looked after it will still look good.

[@top40researcher31]

interesting very good

[@Schony747]

It was a very interesting interview and great to take for a drive as well

[@p4ttyo]

I miss the green😢 it looked so original, but exactly why did they paint it?

[@Schony747]

Because the tram now resides in Auckland and these are these Auckland Tramways traditional colours

[@p4ttyo]

Fair enough@@Schony747
