| 1377667 | 2014-06-22 05:51:00 | <snip> Why waste paint on the side of the carriage that supposedly will not be seen. Because paint is not just cosmetic - it helps protect the wood from rot and prevents water damage to the interior... Obviously a brainless "cost-saving" measure by the local council, who can't see past the next election... |

| 1377668 | 2014-06-22 05:52:00 | There was one at Huapai used as a restaurant I think a few years ago. Don't know if it is still there. Ken Definitely still there - I pass that garden centre / restaurant on my way to golf most weekends... Ate there once a few years ago, very nice (and very busy, at that time - not so busy these days) |

| 1377669 | 2014-06-22 06:07:00 | There's all sorts of uses for retired transport units, e.g. the DC3 at Mangaweka, and there's an old tram at Palm Beach being used as a teenager's rumpus room by one of the more moneyed Island families. I also recall a railway carriage in Otaki or Paraparaumu being used as a restaurant or more accurately a fast food outlet. But top of my bucket list next time in Melbourne is to have a meal on the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant - 5 Star Dining while the tram does its perambulation through the CBD. |
