The shown tram from the collection of A. Detilleux is the only known working original tram, in its box with rails and catenary. The stickers on the sides are not original.

Notice that the rails are simply formed by a welded plate. tension was provided by the rails (one contact) and the catenary (second contact), just like in realsize tramway systems.

200 sets which were finished in time were sold in Grand Bazaar verkocht for St. Niklaas 1941, the 200 nexte (and lastatste) were sold the next year.
