Each of the two Siemens motors had a power of 15 kW (20 hp). They had a single compartment, with outdoor platforms at each end. They made up part of the old 2.0 m (6.6 ft) wide trams, with benches along the length of the cars. In 1916, one tram was rebuilt to a trailer, followed by five more in 1922 and another five in 1930. One tram was converted to a welding vehicle in 1922, while the last tram was kept as a heritage tram, and is still preserved at Trondheim Tramway Museum. As trailers, the trams were renumbered 50 and 55–63. All the trailers were scrapped in 1947–56.[1]
