Use for a chap in a bowler hat?

Yep I reckon he looks the part

Looks as if he has an evil glint in his eye - wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of him!

Looks a bit like "The Hood" from the Thunderbirds, who was voiced by Aussie actor Ray Barrett (might explain how he ended up a motorman in Oz). Definitely has the glowing eyes.

The LLC tram drivers all seem to wear bowler hats in the pics I´ve seen. I think that he´s carrying on a proud tradition.

OMIGOSH! we've been invaded - pear shaped eyes, waxy complexion - this steam tram is being driven by an alien in a bowler hat [e]140[/e]

Maybe yarloop is an Aussie version of Area 51 [e]300[/e]

On a different note, if you look at pictures of english factories, the workers wore caps and the supervisors wore the bowler hats.

Yes.... It was a "badge of office" and a "statement of status" to wear a bowler, only the "real chaps" wore bowlers....

If I tilt his bowler forward a bit he looks like Banjo Patterson.....

There was movement in the depot
for the word had passed around
that the tram bound for Bondi
had got away....
