Brisbane Four Motor Tramcar 506

Brisbane Four Motor Tramcar 506

A total of 155 Four Motor type tramcars were built by the Brisbane City Council between 1938 and 1964. Trams were built in batches.
Each batch would introduce subtle changes to the style of the car i.e. in an effort to reduce weight and to simplify construction, trams built after 1950
had all welded body components instead of the conventional method of hot riveting major body components together. The overall number of differently shaped
metal components was also greatly reduced. This model represents numbers between 504 and 512 which were all built in 1950.
Cars were equipped with 4x40 hp AGE247 motors mounted in trucks built by the B.C.C. based on the Melbourne No.15 truck.
Trolley pole bases were MMTB type. 506 was the first car to exhibit welded construction throughout.
Controllers were RC2 remote control versions utilising under car relays for control.
No.506 was one of 12 FM cars destroyed in the Paddington Depot fire in 1962
Here, this tram is presented with chrome bumper bars, resilient wheels, roller bearings and all welded construction in the way the series would have appeared when built.
