Hong Kong Double-Decker
#12

Inside the carbarn (2010)

Built in 1952 by Hong Kong Tramways

Double-Decker #12 car was built in 1952 by and for Hong Kong Tramways. The car was retired in 1985. It was shipped to Vancouver BC for Expo '86. Hong Kong built a replacement #12 in 1987. The original #12 later found its way to Portland. 

It had been stored in Portland for many years by the late Mr. Naito

The car lacks motors and it is narrow gauge so it may not ever operate again. However, it is a fine addition to the collection. Just watch your head. The ceilings are a little low! Cars similar to this still operate in busy Hong Kong!
