We had a great weekend, with our annual model tram event.
Press coverage included a mention in the Telegraph.
Lord Montagu paid a visit and took a great deal of interest in our project.

Southampton tram returns to tracks for first time since 1949 A Southampton tram has been rolled-out on the tracks for the first time in 77 years.

This week, contractors Alan Keef came and laid some special low-level track out of the shed. Car 11 was pulled out into the sunshine, in anticipation of our tram event next weekend.

Photos are by volunteer Dave.

More progress today.
As we intend to move tram 11 out of the shed at our models event next month, a towbar has been fitted. This was done by Steve and Gareth from Switch Engineering Ltd.
