Thanks to several correspondents on and off list, here's version 2 with
corrections and additions.
I look forward to your suggestions for version 3!

Up to the last of the Ws, the number is 1040 less 10 (Y1s cancelled)
less 38 (CW5s cancelled) = 992

Zs and As reused numbers 1 to 300 = 300

There were 132 B class, 41 C class, 59 D class and now 100 E class.

So I make that 1660 passenger trams.

If you want to include 'visiting trams' you could add a few more:
Bendigo 17, Port Adelaide 302, Sydney 1808, Ballarat horse tram No 1,
The Portland motorised grip car (not an ex-Melbourne tram!), Milan 1692,
Berlin 3007, Eurotram 018, Combino Plus C008, Adelaide Flexity 111 - and
probably VR50 and VR51 which would have been tested on the tracks after
the MMTB converted them to one man operation!   That could be 12 more.

I have omitted the ex Melbourne trams now based in Ballarat and Bendigo
on the basis that they were just 'visiting home'.

Have I missed any more?  Did any of the trams built for Hong Kong get a
Melbourne test run?

Without going into details, I reckon the total number of operational
works trams has been 23 plus a few trailers.

Mal Rowe whose narrow tidy mind would prefer the highest passenger car
number to be 1760 rather than 6100
