This famous advertisement was once carried by the entire Sunderland tram fleet, and so its application to preserved car 16 is highly appropriate.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The familiar advertising slogan has been carefully hand-painted on each end of <strong>Sunderland 16<\/strong>, with a plain white background used to create a very striking advertisement which will ensure that this tram looks very different when it returns to service. Some further remedial work on the car&#8217;s external paintwork is also taking place, including attention to the fleet numbers and lining out, whilst revised between-deck adverts are also being added to the body sides. When it was restored to service, this tram was never properly varnished which has resulted in a rather dull appearance to its attractive maroon and cream livery, although a fresh coat of varnish should brighten it up considerably.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunderland 16<\/strong> duly becomes the fifth different tram to operate at Beamish Museum carrying Binns adverts, following on from <strong>Gateshead 10<\/strong> (prior to repainting in Grimsby &amp; Immingham green livery), <strong>Sheffield 264<\/strong> (when initially outshopped as an open topper in Gateshead colours, before reconstruction of its top deck), <strong>Blackpool 703<\/strong>\/<strong>Sunderland 101<\/strong>, and most recently <strong>Oporto 196<\/strong>\u00a0following its latest repaint in South Shields blue and yellow livery. The tram&#8217;s wheelsets are currently being worked on at Blackpool, but hopefully <strong>16<\/strong> will soon be back in service following a fairly long absence so that its amended appearance can be fully admired and appreciated.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6349\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=6349\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6349\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6349\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6349\" title=\"16 Binns\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/16-Binns-767x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/16-Binns-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/16-Binns-412x550.jpg 412w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/16-Binns.jpg 979w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sneak preview of Sunderland 16&#39;s newly painted adverts, seen in the tram depot at Beamish where the tram is residing whilst its truck is under attention.
