Country: Australia. State/Region: Victoria.

Adelaide Tram H1 381 constructed in 1953 had its origins in a 1939 proposal to build 40 cars of this type. The combined effects of WWII and the decision to abandon the Adelaide Tramways (other than the Glenelg Line), led to only the class leader being constructed with the remaining cars not being proceeded with. H1 381 is now at the Australian Electric Transport Museum at St Kilda.
