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. | |
