Brooksfield nostalgia.
A few photos, 2 from Andrew F and 1 from Colin M.
Now you know where all the Topolinos went, although you could say that about humpies as well. At least all the Topolatsos were saved.
This is the John H Ellers push car which, when it wasn't doing its duties at Brooksfield, resided down the back of the West Terrace car yard, the site from where more than one Mark 7 was sold, including the orange one of Norm and Lisa's. I particularly recall that car in its early days for the door window mechanism which consisted of a strap and peg, just like the old bay trams.
