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 poor condition, but it was made presentable to be the centerpiece
of the "100 years since the opening" in 2007
It has visited numerous locations in the area for public display
from 2007
(as well as having been 'hauled' several times along as much of the former tramtrack route that is possible
- an ideal photographic opportunity !)
It now incorporate several new parts orininally planned for the
'operational' tram and incorporates a pictorial
historical display about the line and its fleet and
the future
Currently mounted on a "road trailer" and normally hauled by a 80+
years old Matador and still going strong after nearly 20 years of
display
(further improvements planned for 'year by year' to both improve its appearance and improve its physical structur) |

Body of a mini tram complete with working motors - comare size with the
full-scale replica
The aim is to fill in the sides to give the appearance of the original 1907 Ll and CB single deck tram No 1
With a short length of portable track, the Society will be able to visit schools and carnivals to give short rides
Work is planned to start modifying the tram this year with possible completion for summer 2014 |

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)
Original plan to be rebuilt to a high standard by a professional coachbuilder and a mechanical & electrical engineer over
several years.
PROPOSAL ABANDONED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT FINANCE - some new parts now permanently incorporated
into No.7 instead

| 101 |
|
Body of former Bournmouth 'open-top' double-deck tram number 101
Was "in store" awaiting finance for a major re-build, but with much of the body found to be rotten the
project had to be abandoned
However a few "usable parts" have been incorporated into No.7 |
| 305 |
 |
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 were subsequently expected
to be used by the 'operational' tram No.6
The ex-Lisbon body was painted in the former Ll&CBER colours for public display at the
Llandudno Transport
Festival in 2000
The body was sold in 2008 to raise money for further work on tram
No.7
Her body is now located in Dublin and serves as a
catering outlet
but the bogies and running gear are now retained for possible use under
tram No.7 --- should an oppertunity arise
One of her bogies was displayed on the back of the Matador as she hauled No.7 in the 2023 Christmas
