This was one of two tramcars built to this design for the PMTT in 1912 by Duncan & Fraser. Originally number 36, shortly after delivery it was renumbered to 46, its old number being taken by the first of the E class maximum traction tramcars. It was unusual in that it was a centre aisle crossbench summer tramcar. In late 1923, it was rebuilt as a closed combination car. It was removed from service in 1929 and the body sold. The body of this tramcar was recovered from a house in Mentone in 1982.

Preserved: 1959 THC Bylands

This tram was built by VR's Newport Workshops for the St Kilda to Brighton Beach line, part of an order for 20 broad gauge trams, that was later reduced to 16 due to low patronage. Another four were built for the standard gauge Sandringham to Black Rock and Beaumaris line. They were the first four motor drop centre tramcars built for service in Australia, setting the trend for Melbourne tram design until 1956. This tram was partly modified for use on the Black Rock line, but it remained in service on the Brighton Beach line until closure in 1959.

Many electrical components were parts acquired for the cancelled four drop centre cars of the same type as No 34. The design was based on the M&MTB SW6's then under construction, but they were shorter, had narrower sliding doors and two piece driver's windscreens. On closure of the Brighton Beach line, this tramcar and its sister cars, were sold to the M&MTB. The M&MTB fitted standard gauge trucks and it entered service in 1959.

In Service: 1929

Withdrawn: 2006 (TransAdelaide)

Preserved:  (373) 2006, (368 Privately Owned) 2019 THC Bylands

Built in 1929 by Pengelley & Co of Adelaide for the Municipal Tramways Trust, Adelaide. These trams had many characteristics of American Interurban cars of the era, and were introduced for exclusive service on the Glenelg line. They were often operated coupled into pairs in peak periods. In latter years they were also used on the other suburban tram routes, until the closure of the main Adelaide tramway system in 1958. The full fleet of 30 were retained for operation on the Glenelg line after 1958. Over the years the fleet had been reduced to 21 cars, and in 2004 the South Australian Government approved the purchase of 11 new modern Light-rail vehicle. Five 5 H class trams have been retained for Adelaide system.
