The "new" Tram No 6
Body of former Bournemouth tram number 86
(one of the 'United Electric Car' built fleet - similar to No.6 on the Ll&CBER)
It is being rebuilt to a high standard by a professional coachbuilder and a mechanical & electrical engineer over
the next few years.
Certain 'new' parts (such as the upper deck railings) designed to meet stringent safety requirements will be
temporarily displayed on tram No.7 as part of the
Centenary celebrations in 2007.
Numerous suitable parts off the original ten trams of this type which have survived the last 50
years - many in private hands - will be incorporated.
Ultimately it is the intention to operate this tram
on a short line somewhere in the Llandudno or Colwyn Bay area.
This "new" project is now seen as the logical progression of the original "The Tram No.7
Project." |

The "original" Tram No.7 Project
Body of former Bournemouth tram number 126
(one of the 'Brush' built fleet - similar to Nos.7-15 on the Ll&CBER)
Unfortunately the bodywork is in very poor condition, but it is being made presentable to be the centerpiece
of the "100 years since the opening" next
year.
It is envisaged it will be on public display on
various dates/locations during 2007 and be "road-mobile."
(Hopefully this will result in it being 'hauled' along as much of the former tramtrack route that is possible
- an ideal photographic opportunity !)
It will temporarily incorporate several new parts ultimately destined for the
'operational' tram as well as incorporating some form of pictorial
historical display about the line and its fleet and
the future.

Body of former Lisbon tram number 305, complete with bogies.
This former Lisbon tram was purchased with the original intention of using
the bogies under tram No.7. They are now expected
to be used by the 'operational' tram No.6.
It is currently painted in the former Ll&CBER colours and was on public display at the
Llandudno Transport
Festival in 2000. |
