A version of an old photograph hand *colourised (if you want to use it, at least credit me and link to this description please!) by me, of Leeds City Tramways (LCT) 'Chamberlain' tram No. 60 at Lowfields Road Permanent Way scrapyard (near Elland Road football ground). 🚃 A comment from A. D. Packer (aka David Packer) - "You have a shot of an older car in Leeds being broken up which shows one of the workmen attacking the rocker panel of the car. This was to extract coins which had fallen behind the longitudinal seating." 🚃 The original BnW photo is here:- flic.kr/p/2m4ZYmL The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name Robert F. Mack (Bob Mack). No. 60 was a fully enclosed 'Chamberlain' class car built by Brush seating 26/46 and running on a 4 wheel EMB Pivotal type J truck. It was first in service Apr 1927, was retrucked with a Peckham P35 in Aug 1948, had the original three destination blind boxes changed to just one in Jan 1950, and had both saloons reupholstered in 'red rexine' in Mar 1951. It was withdrawn from service in Jul 1956 and in the November was burned at Lowfields Road Permanent Way Yard. The parts of the Leeds tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closed in Nov 1959. * My coloured images are more sketch or watercolour like than colour transparency or print like. They are an impression of that subject and period, rather than an accurate representation of how the image/subject actually looked when the photo was taken. If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------
An old photograph taken next to Martyrs Church (junction of Broomlands St., King St., and Queen St.) of Glasgow Corporation Tramways (GCT) car No. 73 showing '28 - Elderslie' (a special depot working) destination blinds. It operated out of the Newlands Depot for all its working life. Modern day google street view:- maps.app.goo.gl/sMaHyoqS6sGpdvXUA The photo reverse has no photographer name, but is annotated with "Paisley. Sept 1956". No. 73 was a hex dash (top covered and unvestibuled) Glasgow 'Standard' red route car built in Aug 1920 by GCT as part of 'phase III' of its tram building/rebuilding programme, it seated 24/38 and ran on a 4 wheel Brill 21E truck. In Feb 1929 it was rebuilt as fully enclosed as part of 'phase IV' of the standard car programme running on its original truck (or a new Brush produced 21E pattern one?), staying as a red route car. In Jul 1960 it was withdrawn from service and broken up at Coplawhill, the parts of the Glasgow tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closing in Sep 1962. If there are any errors in the above description please let me know.

"[T]he adoption of this system of street traffic marks a new era in our history... If the tram system in Brisbane accomplishes no other end it will prove that Queensland does not intend to be behind in this very fast age", boasted Brisbane's Telegraph newspaper on the eve of the first tram beginning public operation on August 12, 1885. Horse drawn trams would later be replaced by electric trams in June 1897. This "new era" ended in 1969, as Brisbane scrapped its trams in favour of the more economical motor buses. Many look back on Brisbane's tram era with a great deal of nostalgia. State Library of Queensland has some wonderful images documenting the age of Brisbane trams which can be perused on our One Search catalogue. Below is a sample...

More than 30 were acquired by Ted Russell in the early 1950s from the Auckland tram company. He placed 23 of them at Waikawau, 10 at Tapu and some at other locations on the Coromandel Peninsula.
