Tram no. 44 was constructed using mostly kauri in 1906 at the Auckland Electric Tramway Company Limited’s barn and workshops located in Jervois Road. It was the first tram in the Auckland fleet to be painted with the new colour scheme of Brunswick green and cream. At this time, there was need a to get trams urgently into service. To speed up the building process, this tram body was placed on the 4-wheel truck (or chassis) of freight car No. 44, and it subsequently took this number. It went into service in December 1906 and operated mainly on the Herne Bay, Parnell, Newmarket line. Its open front dates from the earlier days of the horse tram era. However, a modernisation programme was introduced which saw motorman’s windscreens installed and canopies rebuilt in November, 1910. Pneumatic “air” brakes and sanding gear were also later fitted in April, 1912. The tram was based on the English-built ‘Dinghy’ style tram. They were known as ‘Dinghies’ because they bounced up and down end on end, due to the wheels being near the centre of the tram. From 1918, all Dinghies in the Auckland fleet were coupled in pairs, known as ‘Twins’. This allowed the trams to carry twice as many passengers. No. 44 was coupled with No. 49 and a motorman drove the front tram while each compartment had its own conductor. The Twins soon became uneconomic to operate and No. 44 and 49 were retired in June, 1931 and sold that same year. No. 44 became part of MOTAT’s collection in 1963. The exterior has been restored to appear as it would have in 1906, with an open front. The interior appears as it did in 1921, rich with materials and fittings installed during its last rebuild. MOTAT volunteers won an award for the restoration of this tram in 2006.

Wellington Electric Tram No. 301 Freight car and Tram Scrubber. Freight Car. No.301 (Formerly No.201). Built 1911. Wellington City Corporation Tramways Department. In Service: From 1911 until Wellington Tramway System closure 2nd May 1964. Length: 28 feet or 8.54 metres Height: 10’4 ½” or 3.16m Weight: 7 Tons Trucks: 4-wheel Brill 21E four-wheel truck of American manufacture. Tram Gauge: 1219 mm (4 ft.) gauge Motors: 2 x General Electric GE54 @ 25 HP Operational voltage: 550v DC Controllers: GE B18 with rheostatic electric braking. This is the only surviving works tram in NZ, typical of the rail scrubbers or freight trams found on many of this country’s tramway systems. Tram 301 was brought into service in 1911 by Wellington City Corporation Tramways. It is the only surviving works tram in New Zealand and is typical of the rail scrubbers or freight trams which would have been found on many of this country’s tramway systems. It was originally numbered 201 and is one of only two of this type that were built as freight cars, the other being number 200. Its sliding doors were used to carry parcels and small goods throughout the city and suburbs of Wellington. They were not used for door-to-door deliveries, but depots for the small goods they carried were established in Wellington suburbs, such as Hataitai, Lyall Bay and Karori. Tough competition from cars and the commercial vehicles that could operate outside of the tram system made this type of tram redundant by 1925. Tram 201 was then renumbered 301 and fitted with track grinding equipment in August 1928. Used to grind corrugations (undulations in the track) from the tram rails, 301 worked mainly at night after tram services had finished. Two angled headlights mounted to the front illuminated the track ahead so that grinding blocks between the wheels could be lifted before negotiating the points. The grinding blocks were raised and lowered manually. Such rail grinders were known as ‘scrubber’ cars. Tram 301 continued its service until the closure of the Wellington tramway system in 1964. In 1958 it had been promised to the Old Time Transport Preservation League (founding organisation of MOTAT) by the Wellington City Council after the tramway system closed. It arrived at MOTAT in late 1964 in operational condition but required (and still requires) restoration. (MOTAT)
