Horse Tram 543 Built in 1894 by North Metropolitan Tramways, in London and seating 42 people, this open topped double decker was seen in the streets of Glasgow until the early 1900's. 543 was restored in 1962 to be at the head of the last tram procession through Glasgow in September 1962. |
Room and Kitchen 672 Built in 1898, the Room and Kitchen trams were the first purpose built electric tramcar for Glasgow. 20 of this type of tram were built, however they weren't successful as passenger vehicles owing to the centre entrance. After 8 years in service, the Room and Kitchen cars were withdrawn. 672 survived as Mains Testing Car 3 and was restored to 1898 condition in 1962. |
Standard 779 Built in 1900, Standard 799 enjoyed 60 years in passenger service, having been modernised over the years, these modifications were stripped back to leave the tram in 1908 condition in time for Glasgow's Last tram procession in 1962. |
Standard 1088 Receiving the highest number in the standard car fleet, Standard 1088 was built in 1924 originally with open ends. 1088 represents the tramway of the 1930s

Single deck Pullman 1089 Built in 1926, 1089 also known as 'Baillie Burt's car' was intended to be used on interurban services, however it was found to be too slow in loading due to narrow doors. It later found its way on to service 20 from Clydebank - Duntocher until it closed in 1949 before spending the rest of its service life as a crush loaded Shipyard special operating out of Partick Depot. |
Mark 1 Coronation 1173 The Coronation trams were some of the most luxourious trams ever built in Glasgow. Built in 1939, 1173 saw use on many routes across the system, lasting in service until 1962. |
Curnarder 1392 A 1952 built Curnader tram, of which 100 were built between 1948-52. 1392 had a short service life of only 10 years. |
