If you like old trams you might like to look at this one

Also, for info about old New Zealand Railways do a google serach on Ferrymead NZ and it should take you to a lot of links.

Enjoyed that Tony, I have a book on trams that served the Manchester region and there are several photo’s of enclosed steam trams from around where I was born, Oldham. Several of the roads were narrow guage but those that survived went to standard guage eventually. The system was that intense in this area that it was possible to travel from the Pierhead in Liverpool to the Lancashire/Yorkshire boundary. Oh happy days…

I have a reproduction of a 1905 catalog for the John Stephenson Co. It shows a toast rack street car identical to the one on the web site that you recommended. It is clearly lettered ''Dunedin City Coporation"and carries the number 29. Now I know where Dunedin is. Amazing what you can find poking around used book stores and wandering around the internet.
