It operated in its original condition up until the mid 1960s when it received glazed bulkheads. It is in that condition that we see the tram operating along Douglas Promenade on 25th June 1973 towards Strathallan with a healthy load of passengers. Note that the tram advertises the now long gone Summerland complex. As mentioned above <strong>35<\/strong> left the tramway in 2011 and can now be found at the Home of Rest for Old Horses where it is stored out in the open.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12185\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=12185\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12185\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12185\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12185\" title=\"35-kj\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/35-kj-550x354.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/35-kj-550x354.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/35-kj-1024x660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/35-kj.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Ken Jones<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our recent Douglas Horse Tramway Photo Gallery (http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/gallery548.html if you missed it!) we featured no. 35 which is now out of service and stored away from the tramway at the Home for Retired Horses but back in 1973 it &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?p=12184\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[27,35],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12184"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12184"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12188,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12184\/revisions\/12188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
