Memphis Trolley

The Trolley shops are located at the north end of the line. The build prior to the trolley was a warehouse used to store parade floats. It was adapted to store and maintain trolleys.

The Shops are also equipped to fully rebuild the classic trolleys the Memphis uses.

Memphis has 4 different car types

  • Single Truck Brills from Oporto (Plus a GOMACO replica)
  • Melbourne Australia W-2 class double-trucked cars
  • A former Rio open car converted locally to an enclosed car
  • A GOMACO double-trucked Birney replica car
