Robert Green advised by email 20-1-2018:

"The tram in Russell Street was unveiled by the Premier, R J Hamer, on 1 May 1975. The ceremony was attended by F R Kirby, the Chairman of the M&MTB, and the Chairman (Judge Leckie) and Director (R H Fowler) of the Science Museum of Victoria."



The tram was removed from the glass case when further development to the buildings occurred and temporarily relocated to Box Hill for the centenary of the Doncaster Tramway.
