🚃 Thanks to Paul Haywood for this information:-
"Fred, car 8 was one of ten double-ended motors with nine matching trailers built for the 1067mm gauge Khartoum Tramways by English Electric/Charles Roberts of Wakefield, circa 1952. They were modelled on the Coronation cars which Roberts were building for Blackpool at that time. The Khartoum tramway closed in 1962 and the cars were dismantled. They were said to be the last first generation trams ever to be exported from the UK.
It is possibly at the Omdurman tram terminus." 🚃

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
