Forgot to mention that the original Moreland terminus at the railway gates is still in place in the 571 photo.

568, W2 with and RC short handled controller, a "coffee grinder" such cars unpopular with drivers as you were always banging your left elbow on the saloon door jamb. I always felt too that the RC controllers were not a good fit with W2s. The combination seemed unable to make for smooth acceleration. Maybe it was just me. 568 was formerly fitted with Dick Kerr controllers. 571 is emerging from Cameron St Brunswick and Brunswick Depot, I don't remember it as a Brunswick car, possibly an Essendon car having had its wheel flats ground off, there was no grinder at Essendon. I hope these tramway minutiae are of interest to some.
Regards to all,
