This car was converted from Class SW6 to Class W8 by Bendigo Tramways, and returned to service in Melbourne in 2019.

The SW6 version of Andrew Nolan seemed to be a little more outgoing than the original. Also, he dropped the "Lad" off of his name. But just like the original Ferro Lad, this Andrew could turn his body to iron.
Read up more on Andrew at his Wikipedia page, his Comic Vine entry and his Hero History page.
MMTB SW6 964 waits to run the Football shuttle on Victoria Street at the Sunshine Model Railway Exhibition.
Melbourne SW6 916 is out for a test run on the J line, seen here approaching 18th Street. The 916 has been undergoing restoration for the past decade, and this run may mark one of its furthest forays from the yard in many years.

Troy Andrews was born in Treme in 1986. He is 16 years younger than his older brother, James Andrews. He took up the trombone at a very early age (his first out of town gig with James was aged 4). It was soon after that his brother gave him his moniker, so it has nothing to do with his current height. Aged 7 he lead his first band (Tiny Toones Brass Band), followed by the Trombone Shorty Brass Band. Later he was part of the New Birth Brass Band. Troy Andrews moved away from brass Band music with Orleans Avenue, initially formed with a number of fellow students at NOCCA (New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts).

Carnegie terminal, Line 67, in Truganini Road at Koorang Road, Carnegie.
Car 965, class SW6, was built by MMTB at Preston Workshops in 1950. It was withdrawn after more than 45 years of service.
I knew that it was "too dark" for photography back then, but I persisted. I must have used a very slow shutter speed (probably 1/30), and braced myself as best I could (perhaps against an overhead support pole). The original slide is very dark, but this image is reasonably viewable following electronic enhancement.
Of course, I had no idea of this tramcar's unusual "retirement venue:" Sporvejsmuseet Skjoldenæsholm (Skjoldenæsholm Tram Museum, a.k.a. Danish Tramway Museum).
Denmark?
"That" Denmark, as in . . .
"Kongeriget Danmark"??
"Youse mighta heard da story:"
Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark (Frederik André Henrik Christian, b. 1968) married Mary Elizabeth Donaldson (b. 1972), a Melbourne marketing consultant born in Hobart, in 2004.
With appropriate ceremony, car 965 was presented in 2005 to the royal couple as a gift from the people of Victoria. The car was shipped to Denmark, where it joined the collection of the Danish Tramway Museum, at Skjoldenæsholm (about 65 km / 40 mi southwest of Copenhagen). The tram is not owned by the museum, but by HRH Crown Prince Frederik and HRH Crown Princess Mary of Denmark (after all, it was a wedding gift).

Iconic London pub with a great position on Parsons Green at Ackmar Road.. Last visit 7 March 2013 when I had a very good pint of By The Horns, Mayor Of Garratt. Pub sign www.flickr.com/photos/garstonian/8573715929
Marketing suite for the luxury development by the Thames built on an existing jetty on the river.
Hard to track down, but since they designed the rest of the Fulham Riverside scheme, I suspect this is probably by Lifschutz Davidson, somewhere around 2013. Currently being refurbished.
