What a great treasure we have to enjoy at MOTAT ,pity they didnt leave the whole network across Auckland in place ,my grand kids are coming up in july and they are very much looking forward to going onm the MOTAT trams ,i live just down the road and enjoy seeing them every day in action My Dad used to tell me about riding the old tram network back in the day to get around central Auckland on a tram
Great video. I live outside Melbourne in Oz. Unfortunately our tramway museum suffers from a lack of support and can no longer run any of its fleet on the disused former train branch line at Bylands. Coupled to the vandalism that has happened there the volunteers do a magnificent job to hang on. I recall visiting a tram museum in MZ in 2019, but it wasn't the MOTAT.
To Scot hi there this is Rohan here just wondering how many of the W class tram from Melbourne have got in New Zealand from Rohan can you tell me the number of the trams please thank you and have a great day today from Rohan thanks
Kia ora Rohan. I can't say I know definitively. You could try Graham Stewart's last book: "trams still around New Zealand" which has a good list of all the trams in NZ, including the Melbourne ones. Alternatively, the Wiki page for the W-class Melbourne trams has a list of preserved trams around the world: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W-class_Melbourne_tram. In Auckland are 6: 321, 893, 906, 1032 at MOTAT, and 852 and 881 at Dockline.
Not sure yet. I've started the editing, but won't have much time in the next week or so while I work on some time-critical things. I have another Dockline tramway video coming out this Thursday though

Beautiful view 😉👍️✨ Great job 😃⤴️⤴️
I was there that day.
Awesome thanks! I volunteered there many years ago, when the mainstays were 248 and 321. 257 was under major refurb and 47 was just a frame!
It must look so different to you now! 321 is still the main vehicle for training, and I'm hoping one day I can be trained on it myself
😀
damn these trams are fast
The speed limit in this area is 30 km/h but they feel much faster!
Hey I was there that day, I think you might've caught me on camera.
