 More Melbourne trams were housed in the Bendigo Tram Museum, including these two exaples from the Prahran and Malvern Tramways TRust, whose operations were taken over by the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board in 1920. This California combination style tram was built in 1917 by James Moore and Co as 84, keeping that number when it passed to the M&MTB. It was sold to Bendigo Tramways in 1931 as their 16 it was retired in 1965. It was fully restored in 2009/2010 in time for the centenary of Prahran & Melbourne in May 2010. The tram is one of the fleet use on the Talking Tram Tour. Picture ref A1288 |
 A second tram in Prahran & Melbourne colours is 1914 Duncan & Fraser car 44, M&MTB34 sold in 1951 to Bendigo Tramways as their 17. The fully restoed tram is also used on the Talking Tram Tour. Picture ref A1296 |
 Seen outside the Whitsundays Terrace Resort in August 1989 is a former Melbourne AEC Regal III which had been converted into a mobile home and certainly ventured a long way from the streets of Melbourne. |
 Former M&MTB 425 was a Comeng bodied Leyland Tiger OPS1 of 1948 which ended its days as an emergency breakdown tender at Footscray depot. We were sent this photo but do not know details of where and when it was taken.
