F car 393 is so valuable to the public because of its uniqueness, and it does not have any fabric.

By 'fabric', I'm not referring simply to cloth, but rather the totality of materials from which th ...

Brisbane 180 was repainted in the 70s and saw use then. Nice to see it get a spruce-up.

I think it arrived in Sydney in 1962, and spent time at Randwick Workshops (which still had track and wire un ...
