The Perth K Class Trams 126-130 ran on 2 motor Brill 77-E's I believe. I will have to have a good look at my Destination Subiaco to confirm this and to look at other tram classes in Perth and Freo.
Kalgoorlie used max trax for all its bogie cars.
Freo 36 and I think 35 used a modified Melborne No.13 or 15 from the top of my head. I assume these were four motors- but will check tonight.
PETS has Freo 36, Perth 130 and Kalgoorlie 25- all of these were the last cars built for their respective systems.
Just out of interest, a plan for Perth 131 is held by PETS- this would have been a drop centre design based on the W2's if it had ever been built. The only DC cars used in West Oz were H 62 and I63- the latter being the 'stepless' car- the other of this type imported went to Briz and was scrapped in the '30's. 63 lasted till the early 50's and the body is preserved by PETS- believed to be the only full body still in existence anywhere in the world.
