No 24 is one of three Hills cars built in 1920 and fitted with the trucks and electrical equipment which was removed from the three former double deck trams from which the top deck seating had been removed in 1918.

All the Hills cars and some of the Yanks (series 11-20) were fitted with air operated track brakes to permit their use on the line to the Sign of the Takahe
