standard gauge track 600v DC An open day was held at the museum of trams in Brisbane over the weekend here is a selection of what was in service trams by number and entry to service 47 ..........1901 65............1921 341............1936 429..............1942 554................1964 65 uses Brill 21E trucks the others were home built in Brisbane 554 was the last tramcar built for Brisbane and was in service only 5 years i would guess No.47 would be one of the world''s oldest electric tramcars in service unless there are some in Britain what would be the oldest currently operational streetcar in North America be now ? These tramcars operate every Sunday in Brisbane should any one be visiting this city, and have a webpage Brisbane Tramway Museum for more information You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.

They have two cars built in 1893 but they are only used on special occasions. Of the 14 servicable cars only two were built in the 20th century in 1906.
