You know, a horse-drawn wooden tram (I originally wrote wooden horse tram,
hmmm ... )

As used in Troy?

would be very much a touristy, novelty thing. No problems with
tripcocks, corrosion - well it can be dealt with. If Victor Harbour in
South Australia can have one out across a jetty/bridge/pier type
structure, so can the Isle of Wight. Of course, the animal libbers could
end up lying across the tracks

Promise?

*- unless you perhaps had a lovely
Clydesdale there with a brewery dray and a nice drop on tap!! In which
case they'd still be lying across the tracks, paralytic rather than
politic.



The trouble is the island beer is much what you would expect from a
Clydesdale :-(

I've now posted the promised pics of the Standard Stock (class 485) on the
island. Also a couple of shots of the 1938 stock in Network South East
livery.
