A project of this nature requires the help of many.
Thanks to the Public Transport Corporation of Victoria for allowing distribution of photograph and diagram images, and for the co-operation of staff in assisting with information between 1973 and 1998.
Information and idea credits to Rob O'Regan, Mark Bau, Daryl Gregory, Phil Dunn, Des Jowett, Norm Bray, Graham Edwards, Phil Jeffrey, John Scott, Peter Medlin and David Bromage.
Thanks to all those others that have at some time provided input or suggestions between 1996 and 1998.
Special thanks to all photographers who contributed but have not been acknowledged to date. You all helped piece together the largest jigsaw puzzle ever done. Photographers and collections include:
If anybody recognises an uncredited photo of theirs please inform me. It is not intentional, sometimes speed and quantity preclude fine detail.
As at June 2004 I have decided to expand the concept to cover all rolling stock changes since 1996. This will be a big ask and most of the assistance will be provided by Rob O'Regan. Hopefully I can shoehorn in a photo or two.
Note: Viewers may be aware that there is a large proportion of photographs/images that are not mine, particularly in the 'Images' section. This was due to the fact that the majority of my photos have not been scanned yet. At the same time as I was writing an indexing program to find my photos and images, I was assembling material from others. This was faster than scanning my own given the time constraints. So what visitors will see is large indexed lists of material to be scanned and images and photos collected from others.
