Description
Due to a shortage of vehicles during and immediately after the Second World War, Copenhagen Trams built a series of 44 two-axle motor cars and 65 similar sidecars—the so-called "scrap cars"—at its main workshop between 1942 and 1947. Motor car no. 470 was built in 1945, and sidecar no 1065 in 1947. They were in operation until 1967 and 1968, respectively.
