Scottish Vintage Bus Museum Lathalmond, Fife - Open Weekend - 17 August 2013 |
|
Museum I saw the restored horse tramcar above for the first time when I visited The Scottish Vintage Bus Museum, at Lathalmond, Fife during thier Open Weekend, on August 17, 2013. The first photo below gives a brief summary of the discovery and restoration of the tram. This summary was written on completion of the restoration in 2012. Enthusiasts I was please to meet two tram enthusiasts, standing beside the tram at the museum on 17 August. Both had been heavily involved in restoration of Horse Tram No.23. They were: - Alan Brotchie, author of several books on buses, trams and other transport around Scotland. Alan sent me these 4 photos of the tram taken on completion of its restoration in 2012. They were taken at The Scottish Vintage Bus Museum at Lathalmond. - Neil MacKenzie, former General Manager of LRT (Lothian Region Transport - which has now become Lothian Buses). I first met Neil several years ago when I was working on my personal photographic project, 'Edinburgh at Work'. The next time I met him was at Lothian Buses' Central Garage at Annandale Street, Edinburgh, when he was helping to restore the double decker cable tram No.22 .
