Historical information
The tram was originally built for the Hawthorn Tramways Trust in 1916. It was sold to the Electric Supply Co. of Victoria for use on the Ballarat tramway system and converted to an early form of one-man operation in 1930. It continued in service until 1971 when the SEC operated system closed. The tram was transferred to the ownership of the Museum.
The tram is a single truck with drop ends, built as an open California combination. It is painted in the 1930 SEC colour scheme.
Fares are Adults $4 and Children $2.
