Thinking back to the 902 problems when it ran I would expect they would use similar amounts of power, not forgetting their Chopper controls too which would need driver re-training!<br /><br />But yes, they do deserve a place in the collection, and they aren't that ugly! Certainly had the fleet ended up like 648 or 645 they would be better ;)Jack Gordonhttp://www.blackpooltramway125.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-83499150215205269892010-03-15T19:44:17.253+00:002010-03-15T19:44:17.253+00:00I second "anonymous's" comment. 648 ...I second "anonymous's" comment. 648 and its sisters are ugly brutes. They are also surely the noisiest trams on the planet! However, they do represent an important part of British tramway history, and as such we should welcome one of their number (if only through gritted teeth) as part of our collection. I can't imagine many of our visitors relishing a ride on it however.Apothecarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-28858779056017505382010-03-13T00:10:50.442+00:002010-03-13T00:10:50.442+00:00648 is such an ugly monster.648 is such an ugly monster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
