Ekebergbanen, four-axle motor-coach

Ekebergbanen (Oslo), four-axle motor-coach 1007.

The Brown Boveri Review, December 1924.

These cars, numbered 1006-1012 were delivered in 1920-21. They were built by Skabo, with electric equipment and the motors coming from BBC's Norwegian subsidiary, NEBB. At 14.9 m length and 2.1 m width, they weighed an impressive 26,5 tons. In the 1950s, parts from this type were re-used for new cars that lasted until the 1970s. The illustrated vehicle, 1007, is preserved in a museum at Vinterbro.
