19 März 2010 - Porto (PT) – Foz. A Porto bogie car. STCP once had many bogie trams, but most have now gone and just a few remain for special museum services. Car 275 was built locally but is typical of the Brill ‘semi-convertible’ design. As Porto is a standard-gauge tramway, their cars could be much bigger than the little 900mm and metre-gauge trams in other Portuguese cities. Bogie trams can only use the riverside line, so don’t now get much use.

19 März 2010 - Porto (PT) – Massarelos. An inside view of the unusual ‘semi-convertible’ design developed by Brill of Philadelphia, which became something of a Portuguese speciality. Each whole window frame slides up into the curved roof, leaving an open car for summer. The cane rattan-covered, reversible seats are also typical of American trams of the period.

19 März 2010 - Porto, Gas, Rua do Ouro: One of the last remaining Porto 4-axle trams on a rare excursion from the museum. These cars can`t run safely up the hill to the old city centre, so are confined to the riverside track past the tram depot, which means that they don`t get very much use. This particular car was known as a `semi-convertible` as the side panels roll up into the roof to make it an open car in summer.
