Yesterdays video made me want to dig my Hong Kong tram souvenirs out of the back of the cupboard and take a photo.
Sadly, there's not much in the way of identification under them apart from the largest which is from "Peak Horse". I suspect it owes something to the HO scale Bachmann model. Which reminds me, I'm sure I have a motorised one of those somewhere...

I wonder if we might soon see a tram themed magazine project layout.
Seriously though, I seem to recall reading about there having been a link between the UK rail network and the Blackpool tram network - to allow coal wagons to be transferred, then hauled to (I think) a power station by a small centre cab electric loco.
I'm not sure- but I seem to recall reading that the loco might have since found its way to Crich.
Of course, I could be mistaken ... .
A tram themed magazine project would be great fun. I seriously considered a private project along those lines earlier this year.
There are several goods tramways in the UK. I can't find the link, but there was a book on them published in the last 12 months. Crich has a Blackpool steeple cab goods tram in the collection.
