A beautiful day down there Sir...a bit different to my visit a few weeks ago..LOL Miss the trams already , and I'll put this one on the list for next time. Thanks for the ride. Gregg.
@@FishplateFilms Yes it was a particularly nice day, and looked especially good when I proof checked it on my big TV. Too bad the weather was not the best who you were there, but you will note that all my videos are taken in summertime. Even then there are sure to be a number of gloomy days. But sometimes I have no option but to record the trip anyway. A couple of times I did it twice when the first occasion was dull and cloudy but sunshine seemed possible the second day.
I catch this line all the time, though I do prefer when I catch an A class tram. In saying that, I have experienced an A class coming down from the Kew depot into stop 25 with smoke pluming out from the motors. Somehow the front motor windings shorted. Could taste that at the back of your throat for hours
@@burntoutelectronics Yes, the A class are not bad. They were the first ‘modern’ trams I drove in 1988. While you could well be right about the motor, jammed disc brakes can also emit a lot of smoke. Neither would smell nice.
So you cause the right arrow at church street at north richmond.. right… how to you get the ‘T’ light to go for you to advance forward in that situation
@@BennyBlack1 Every tram has a little radio transmitter hanging below the cab and it’s called a transponder. At certain places there is a loop of wire in the road, the same as you often see at traffic lights where cars have to wait for the green signal. Anyway these special loops detect the radio signal from the tram which causes the traffic lights to bring up a green right turn arrow, or in other places a T light which would not other otherwise appear and so clear the road for the tram to proceed. Often there is a green arrow loop some distance before the intersection, another at the intersection where the tram stop is, and maybe in some situations between those two loops there is another.
Nice Video👍 Yesterday i meet here in Coburg a group of people who came from Melbourne. They told me there grandparents came from upper Frankonia and they wanted to see how it is here. I will meet them again this afternoon und show them a bit of Coburg. One of them is a tram driver at Essendon depot.
@@peterausfranken That was good luck meeting those Melburnians, although somebody may have introduced you knowing of your familiarity with Melbourne. I’m sure you will treat them well 😊
