It is kind of weird looking at old Melbourne W Class trams that I used to travel on in another country. I am sure they are being well looked after.

I think they are - at least as well as can be. Of course, if money weren't an issue and there were all the workers available, they'd be able to have a overhaul, new paint work, shiny bells & whistles, and preventative maintenance on an extremely frequent basis. I'm not involved in this, but I understand the team are mostly volunteers and have been bogged down with a couple of big restorations which have prevented them from spending the time they'd like to keeping the current fleet of NZ & Australian trams in the condition they'd like.
