I looked up Century of NSW tramcars Vol 1 - and made a couple of
discoveries.

Firstly, Century 1 says that D 123 had a Peckham truck - perhaps in
later years but not when built as a trailer as Bill's photo shows a
Brill truck.

Secondly, some of the Sydney E class were fitted with two different
types of McGuire trucks - the A1 and the Columbia.

I found a pic of the A1 type in Charlton and it's not a match.

Perhaps the McGuire Columbia is our mystery truck - especially if Bill's
identification of Clyde's Granville site is true.

Mal Rowe - still sleuthing
