Cable tram sets were moved onto Nicholson Street from the car house using horses or tractors. The grip mechanism sat high on the dummy floor when in the car house and was only lowered into the cable tunnel only when the tram was on the street. Here the gripman and conductor are standing in the dummy in their M&MTB issued uniforms. The car house with upstairs offices has a brick facade. The double storey corruguted iron building in the background is the tram construction factory and workshop.
