Got down to Dandenong and had a look at Z1.26, now in the front yard at Membrey's Transport at 80 South Gippsland Hwy (west side, just south of the railway). Attached are three views of the tram.
Also of interest are the supports (photo Z1.26 truck). The original trucks have been retained, complete with track brakes. They have been welded to short vertical steel beams, which are bolted to concrete. I do not recall having seen this done anywhere else.
Looking into the tram (I took a photo but it didn't come out well, as I was facing the sun), the far side centre door is covered by a large wooden cupboard that projects well into the tram - almost like an airlock. I would be curious to see what the other side of the tram looks like, and what it is used for.
