 Hot off 'The Gimp',

 2103 at Glebe station, around 13:20 today. I had walked along side the track
from Wentworth Park where I saw 2104 on a regular service. 2103 must have
ran from the depot direct when I snapped it at Glebe. The tram slowly 
run past the station and stopped at the Glebe tunnel portal. They left back
toward Wentworth park at some what higher speed. I assume they were testing
or calibrating the ATC system.

 not all are up at this time, so the list will grow over the weekend as I
feed more through 'The Gimp' and webify them.
