The first attached photo was shared on the facebook page "Antique Postcards" and shows Geelong Birney No 14 in a hand coloured Valentines postcard. The tram is in the single track section of Moorabool St, south of Ryrie St. It's probably the only pic we will find showing it in the original MESCo livery. The date is between 1924 and roughly 1930 - when the SEC took over. Geelong 14 is now Bendigo 11. Bendigo 15 was Geelong 15 and was in the MESCo livery for many years (another pic on a smoky day) Mal Rowe - whose first interest in trams started with Birneys
