The tram was part of the Transporting Art project suggested by the artist Clifton Pugh (1924-1990) in Jan. 1978 to the Lord Mayor of Melbourne Cr. Irvin Rockman. The concept was enthusiastically supported by Victorian Premier Rupert Hamer. Clifton Pugh's tram was the second tram to appear. Described by the artist as "The apostle birds in flight, as if the tram has run into a group of them and they're flying along the sides. Then I found the route was to be through Collingwood and Hawthorn football territory and one cannot be one-eyed in that worlds, there are a magpie and a hawk on each side." The tram was retained by the State and stored until 2015 when it was transported to the Museum's Offsite store. Formal ownership was transferred to the Museum during 2019. Conservation planning for the tram's return to service and the restoration of the artwork is underway. 1986 - withdrawn from service following a minor accident and stored. In 2015 tram relocated to the Museum's offsite store and during 2019 transferred to ownership of the Museum. See btm.org.au/trams/504.html for further detail.

The tram was built by Meadowbank Manufacturing Co. Sydney in 1915 for the Prahran and Malvern Tramways Trust as their No. 66. Sold to the Melbourne Electric Supply Co (MESCo) Geelong in 1927 and ran as their No. 25. After two spectacular derailments in Aphrasia St during 1950 and 1951, at almost the same location, the tram was renumbered to No. 28 to reassure the public it was safe! MESCo was taken over by the SECV in 1930. It was little used between 1951 and 1956 when the system was abandoned and the body sold to a framer in Little River. In 1983 the donor purchased the body and subsequently undertook the reconstruction to its former SECV format and livery of green and cream. It has been fitted temporarily for display purposes, with an unmotored Brill 21E truck.
