Description
Motorcar no. 17 from De Københavnske Sporveie is the oldest electric motorcar in the Tram Museum. It was built as an accumulator car by Falkenried in Hamburg in 1897. In 1902 it was converted to overhead line operation, and it was used as a public transport car until 1927. After a few years as a work car, it has been a museum car since 1936.
The auxiliary car DKS no. 283 was built as a two-story horse tram around 1870 and was converted to an auxiliary car for electric operation in 1902. It ran as such until 1933.
