these vehicles are from the 1940s and 1950s and the type survived in service until the mid 1990s. some trailers survived until 2004. today (septmeber 2007), several of the type are still in use in north korea.

inscription on casting of peckham number 8 truck
2nd april 2011, detail of zürich 93. the car is only temporarily supported on the truck, hence the wooden block instead of the leaf spring. see also this news item .
i believe the full text (partly obliterated by the subsequent welding on of an additional flange and widening of the axle box to permit more powerful motors to be added) reads "peckhams flexible gear manufactured by peckham motortruck & wheel co 8 kingston n y patented aug 30 1892". the 8 refers to this being a number 8 type truck according to the manufacturer's catalogue. also visible is the company's monogram ptc. edgar peckham devised an ingenious modular system permitting trucks of different dimensions to be assembled from standard parts. a more complete text is legible on this specimen . one of the later units manufactured under licence in switzerland by sws (schlieren) can be seen here .
lindbergh
21st october 2008, test tram emerging from the tunnel at lindbergh. regular service on this new line, which serves the airport, will commence in december. the second tram in the set is easily recognisable as 2029 on account of its non-standard roof-mounted vents.
cobra at zw altstetten

2nd december 2006, end of the line — bogies from swiss standard tram trailers.
25th october 2001. tram 2000 car 2113 has been fitted with a low floor section. the section was built in the vbz's own workshops using mainly tram 2000 parts. here the lengthened car stands at oerlikon station on it's first day in service. 2113 ran on route 10 on this and the following day before being transferred to route 6. note the non-standard paint scheme around the articulations (on single-articulated tram 2000 cars, the blue band is broader).
zürich cargotram
cargotram at wollishofen on it's first day in service (15th april 2003). this view of trailer 1984 clearly shows its peckham truck. this truck is now serving it's third purpose. in contrast to the later peckham trucks which were built under licence in switzerland, the original batch were imported from the usa. these were used for cars 57 - 84. these cars originally had open balconies which were later glazed. their low power and limited capacity led to their conversion to trailers 473-500 between 1926 and 1929. new lighter trucks were constructed for these trailers and the original trucks were reutilised for works cars of various types and descriptions. a small number of these survive today, among them crane car 1952 . trailers 1984 and 1987 survived as permanent way wagons but saw little use during their final years. their next rebuild was in 2003 when they were prepared to carry standard refuse containers.

on the 25th october 1994, a be4/4 p16 car on route 6 approaches toblerplatz in front of a colourful autumn backdrop.
the p16s had displced standard cars from this route in may of that year. having previously not been used on route 6, the p16s still displayed the original yellow route 6 recognition colour. this had long since been changed to brown to avoid confusion with yellow route 13. during the following months, the route indicator blinds were replaced, but not without allowing photographers to recapture the otherwise long vanished yellow 6.

on the 25th october 1994, a be4/4 standard car on route 6 has just left the zoo terminus and is approaching susenbergstr. stop. large scale operation of standard cars had ceased in may of that year, but a small number were retained on route 6 for sime time beyond this to cover for overhauls of the p16 be4/4s. further units were returned to service in the autumn due to their superior adhesion on this steep route during the leaf fall season.

??.??.?? farewell tour of lightweight standard car 1531 (right). this was retained by vbz many years beyond the demise of this type from regular service. it was intended to use it on private hire tours, but the car proved insufficiently popular to warrant it's retention. it was thus scrapped when it became due for overhaul. tram museum zürich ran a farewell tour on it's very last day. here it meets preserved intermediate standard car 1392 outside bahnhof wiedikon depot.

stuttgart, gt4, route 15 and metre gauge tram farewell
8th december 2007, zuffenhausen unterländerstrasse. after the rest of route 15 had been converted to dt8 operated route u15, the remaining gt4s worked a shuttle between stammheim and zuffenhausen kelterplatz until this line was finally closed at around 22:00. the line will be worked as a bus shuttle until a new standard gauge line can reach stammheim, hopefully around 2009.
