Tram 2.0

A second tram has arrived at the BGLR, however this one is not likely to be in use any time soon as it is unpowered! Very nice it is though, a possible future project will be to fit a power bogie but for now it is likely to be just a static part of the tramline. In other news Growler has now gone off into reserve, it will be back next year.

Tramway track laid

New track for the tramway was procured today, though there are a couple of extra pieces needed to finish off. Some test runs of the tram were made and it ran pretty well. The track will not be stuck down yet as some underlay is needed along the bridge and new board first.

Tram test

Full tram operations will require the laying of a proper line of course but the tram was given a brief test atop the bridge (where the terminus tram stop will eventually be).

Arrival of the tram

The Birches Green Light Railway intends to open a tram service at a later date and ready for that (which will probably have its terminus atop the bridge near the station) a tram has arrived.
