THE replacement of resistance grids on Blackpool No. 31 has proved to be less expensive than originally expected.
Its failure, reported in September’s The RM, added to pressures on tram availability at Beamish Museum during the summer school holidays following the temporary withdrawal of Sheffield No. 264 in May after sustaining a damaged motor.
Components from No. 31 were sent away for renewal to a specialist contractor, which can trace its roots back to the original manufacturer of the tram’s resistance box.
