Random Bollocks From A Semi-Retired Foamer!

W2 637 MELBOURNE TO BRISBANE

Via Newcastle and Wollongong

From what I understand, 637 went from Melbourne to the 'Newcastle Tramway Museum', where her electrical gear was used to restore R1.1995.

The was sold to a Lance Carr who moved it down to Brownsville by the time I found her in 2016 (photos above). I remember being told at the time that she was available for purchase. However, a lack of room in the boot saw it remain there.
It would seem she is destined for a brighter future on display at Everton Plaza in Brisbane.

Some imaginative Channel 7 reporting.

637 was recently reported (Facebook link above) to have been taken to Everton Park (Brisbane) to be part of a redevelopment of Everton Plaza.
Channel 7 mistakenly reports it as being old Brisbane tram 74.
