This model is of motor car tram No. 40, 1901. This vehicle was the oldest of the Berlin electric motor car trams. Number 40 originally operated in the West Berlin suburbs as part of the "Westliche Berliner Vorortbahn." It is the type of motor car tram called "Neu-Berolina," and this type became very popular and saw widespread use. In 1903 the side and front wall protectors were installed around the running gear, to avoid people being knocked down and dragged under the wheels. With the unification of Berlin's municipal transport companies in 1920, this tram ended up belonging to the company "Berliner Strassenbahn" and was renamed No. 3851, on later on A 114. The tram was manufactured by Boker & Cie, Remscheid and remained in service from 1901 right through to 1943. It was fitted with two 16. 7 kW AEG motors, measured 28 feet long, 6.5 feet wide and 11 feet high. When empty she weighed in at 8.5 tonnes. It had sitting room for 20, plus another 12 standing.
