Site update – 20 February – BTM Tram #18 photos

Posted on February 20, 2017 by

Over November, December and early January I documented some updates to BTM Tram Number 18 as it goes through its rebuild.  The page has a lot of interesting images of the underframe, resistor grids and the motors. Of greater interest, to me at least, was the changing out of an armature. It’s not something I’ve ever seen done before so I thought I’d document it. Head over to #18’s page and view the evolving gallery there.

If you have any information to share please let me know and I’ll be happy to share it.
