1954/55 SS Stockholm A29 Power Car with B29 Trailer Car

The A29-class trams were the very last new cars delivered to Stockholm; they were built in 1954-55 by Hagglund and ASEA companies with use of parts of old A11/A12-class cars. Thirty trams, numbered 170-199 were produced for use on the long routes No. 13,14,16 and 17 to southwestern Stockholm’s suburbs. 55 trailers, called B29, were rebuilt by by Stockholm Tramways from old B12-class for use with new A29 power cars. They were numbered 559-618. A29/B29-class was only 9 years old when it was withdrawn from service in 1964, when the second phase of the Stockholm subway was opened. Hong Kong Tramways considered acquiring them, but concluded that the price was too high. Failing to find a buyers for these trams, SS sold them for scrap.

1946 Stockholm ASEA/GM A25 "Mustang" Tramcar

ref.134The electric network in Stockholm commenced operation on 5th September 1901. In 1946 Stockholm Tramways ordered 69 new large cars from ASEA company and subsidiary of General Motors. This class, classified A25 (Nos. 400-469) and so-called “Mustang” was very popular in the city. Sweden was the last in mainland Europe to retain left-hand rule of driving. By 1962, there were 405 trams in Stockholm but Stockholm Tramways decided to withdraw all city's trams and almost 400 older buses rather than convert them to the standard Continental right-hand drive. On the 2nd of September 1967 the last tram ran in Stockholm’s inner city and only a few hours later the rule of the road was changed from the left to the right. To replace trams on many heavy routes, Stockholm Tramways bought 50 brand new Leyland Atlantean double-deckers.
