Hello all.
Maybe it's old news. But for those who would like to know, here's a small story of the 1600 series.
The original series was 601-635 and was delivered as 6-axle cars to the RET in 1968/69.
All went well with the series until 1979, when 2 cars (607 and 617) burned out completely while in service. The cause: illegal smoking in the tram!!!
In 1982, an older Duwag series (301-324) was send to the scrapyard and his technical installations went to a new series that was build in 1983 (the series 801-850).
The C-parts (1975) of the 301-324 where newer than the original A and B-parts (1965). This 24 C-parts where used to make 8-axel cars for the 600 series (which became a 1 for there original number). In the years 1982-84 the 1601, 02, 03, 04, 05, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 33, 34, and 1635 came to service.
In 1996 the RET decided to give 15 trams from this series a longer life. The trams were given a big revision and a paintjob.
Other cars where scraped (1603, 1609 and 1625) or taken out of service (1602, 1605, 1628 and 1629).
The lucky ones (1601, 04, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24, 33, 34 and 1635) remained on service until 2004.
A year later, 10 of them went to Braila.
Remarkable is the fact that no. 1600 car that was left in Rotterdam has been scraped (beside the 1626 last year).
The 1605, 1614, 1616, 1624 and 1628 are still on route now and then for sight seeing tours.
The 1602 is in use by the local firebrigade for practicing and the 1610, 1633 and 1635 are in use for spare parts. The 1629 became an instruction tram.
