Maley & Taunton #100
21 march 2010 - Portugal, Ribeira de Sintra: In recent years, the Sintra-Atlantico tramway has identified the need for more trams, as their 1903 Brill cars are rather small, low-powered and a bit scary to drive down the steeply-graded track, as they have only hand brakes. The solution has been to obtain some redundant Lisboa trams from Carris and re-gauge them to match the Sintra track - this is #100 of 1935, formerly Carris #709.

21 march 2010 - Portugal, Ribeira de Sintra: Still poking around the Sintra Electrico depot, here is a photo of an enclosed Brill trailer that hasn`t featured before on TWB. Like all the other original trams on this system, it came from Philadelphia, USA in 1903. Trailers aren`t often used now on the Sintra-Atlantico line, because the condition of the track and the steep gradient make it rather a nightmare for modern Health and Safety officers.

Brill Crossbench #7
21 march 2010 - Portugal, Ribeira de Sintra: The Sintra tramway depot houses remarkable survivors. This line barely survived but, at the insistence of the local authority, was refurbished after several years of closure and now runs again from Sintra town down a steep and very tortuous track alongside the main road to the coast. Fortunately, the fleet of 1903-built, handbrake-only Brill trams has been kept intact and can still be ridden as they have been for over 100 years. Car #7, shown here, is a summer `toastrack` with open sides.

Brill Saloon #4
15 february 2014 - Sintra (PT). W przeciwieństwie do lat poprzednich, zdecydowano o kursowaniu tramwaju Sintra - Praia das Maçãs przez cały rok, tyle, że w okresie zimowym jedynie 3 kursy 1 wagonem, dla odmiany od okresu letniego zamkniętym i w dodatku debiutującym tutaj.
