Featured Trams
Tram No. 103
L class tram No. 103 was built in 1921 by James Moore & Sons Pty Ltd as one of six trams numbered 101 to 106. The L Class were ordered by the Prahran and Malvern Tramways Trust in 1919, but were not delivered until after the formation of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board. When built, the L Class dropcentre section differed in that it had four doorway openings, similar to the Adelaide F and F1 Type trams. The dropcentre sections were rebuilt during the early 1930’s to resemble the layout of the W2 Class trams, with the dropcentre floor also being raised slightly during the mid 1940’s to equalise the step heights into the tram. This tram is currently on loan to the Ballarat Tramway Museum and can be viewed by visiting the museum in the Lake Wendouree gardens.
Tram No. 939 – Cuthberts
Tram 939 is an SW6 class tram built in Melbourne in 1946. It became Colonial Restaurant Car No. 3 in 1995, and worked in Melbourne until 2012. The BTM acquired the tram in 2014. No. 939 was adapted for our use in 2015-2016. This adaption included removal of the toilet and the creation of a small kitchen, complete with dishwasher and an espresso coffee machine. In 2020 the tram was withdrawn from service during the COVID-19 outbreak and is currently waiting adaptions which will improve the air flow and circulation within the saloon.
