00:00I'm Simon Hutchinson, semi-retired anaesthetist and my hobby is basically this, a working
00:07miniature tramway.
00:08I have four trams, the first one was the Hobart tram which is my favourite system, then Los
00:14Angeles, then a freelance steampunk tram and then this articulated design from Montpellier
00:20in France and the track's about a couple of hundred metres.
00:26I always had the interest in trams, I used to, when I grew up down south in Hobart, I used
00:32to see old Hobart trams in the fields and stuff and thought it would be nice to have one of
00:36those.
00:37Then I thought, I learnt about seven and a quarter inch gauge railways and I thought well that's
00:43something doable.
00:44Then I saw that advert for an American firm who built street cars and I thought well I
00:50could build something like that and adapt the design to represent different prototypes
00:56and then it all started from there.
01:16I thought it would be nice.
01:16Sometimes a bit of a sense of unreality.
01:18It turned out just like I'd imagined it would.
01:22I'm always vaguely surprised when my projects come out looking like I imagined it.
01:27I'm always vaguely surprised when you are at the moment.
01:28I just wanted to see my projects with some of my projects as I heard about.
01:28It would be nice to me, too.
01:28You've got a full project of this kind of, if you are a full project in the world, you
01:31have a full project in the world.
01:31I think that is a great job.
01:32What kind of project
01:32I think that it will be really nice to create your vision and why?
01:32I think that it will be cool now and so I think it will be nice.
01:32So it will be nice to be nice.
