No 152 was the third electric tram to be rebuilt by the THS. It is seen here
running on the Ferrymead Tramway some time before its transfer to the Christchurch
Tourist Tramway in 1995.
No 152 runs on Peckham 14D5 trucks. As none were available anywhere in the world,
the Society made patterns for the frames to be cast and assembled the trucks in
the Ferrymead trambarn. It is believed that these were the first trucks to be
made by a museum anywhere in the world.
