Wanganui is getting its very own celebrity tram.
Yes, you heard right - a tram used in Peter Jackson's film King Kong will join the No 12 Tram Mable down on the waterfront in several months.
The tram, which has been gifted to the Tram Shed by the Wellington Tramway Museum, was built in Melbourne and used as public transport in the late 1920s.
The tram, referred to as "dreadnought", was built between 1908 and 1925.
"Our tram track has a wider gauge than the tram tracks in Wellington, which is why we have been given the dreadnought," Tramways Trust chair Kritzo Venter said.
