7 june 2009 - Bruxelles (BE) – Place Royale. The museum ‘two-rooms-and-a-bath’ articulated car on a gloomy day near the Royal Palace. These trams were built by STIB in 1965 with new bodies resembling PCCs, but with mechanical and electrical parts from two much older ‘Standard’ cars.

7 june 2009 - Bruxelles (BE) – Flagey. Another view of #4052, showing the door arrangements. From this angle, you can see the two old-fashioned, four-wheel trucks that were used as a basis. It looks very much like a PCC, but isn’t!

1 may 2014 - Bruxelles/Brussel - Avenue Victor Jacobs: Car #4032 again on a journey from Montgomery to the city centre on the day that Line 81 was celebrated with the special operation of historic trams. This vehicle was part of a small series built in the STIB workshops in the 1960s, using the frames of two old 1930s trams and new bodywork. They weren`t very successful, being slow and noisy, so were withdrawn in the early 1970s.

1 may 2014 - Bruxelles/Brussel - Barriere St Gilles: Here, museum tram #4032 has reached the celebrated Barriere roundabout on a Line 81 centenary journey. The track layout here is remarkable - trams coming up the hill from the direction of Gare du Midi and needing to turn right into Park Lane must make a 450 degree turn, as the angle is just too sharp.
