Thanks Bill, and your daughter also.

It’s nice to see that at least one tram I drove has a bright future and I think it also supplied some useful bits to Ballarat.

Yes, still there and in good condition.  Run by Diamond Creek Rotary.

Was out there today and got a few photos.

Hi Bob,

The project is described at:

They have done a great job - ticking all the boxes for community use and
tram conservation.

The colour scheme of the tram is an odd hybrid.  The colours are green and cream (typical of the MMTB era, then again post-1994), but the layout (with the exception of the lining around the driver's cabin doors) is of The Met (1984-c.94) era, which used bright green and strong yellow.  Still, it is well done.
