'W' class trams were introduced to Melbourne in 1923 as a new standard design. Simple and rugged, craftsman built and with a dual bogie layout, the W Class was the mainstay of Melbourne's tramway system for over 60 years. A handful of the W6 trams still operate today throughout Melbourne. Some were converted for the City Circle tourist route as well as for the popular Tram Car Resturant. The W-class tram is a cultural icon to Melbourne, those that remain in Melbourne are classified by the National Trust of Australia.
