R-class Melbourne tram

The R-class was a class of eight trams built by James Moore & Sons and the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board (MMTB). The Fitzroy, Northcote & Preston Tramways Trust (FNPTT) placed five trams in service in 1920. All passed to the MMTB on 2 February 1920 when it took over the FNPTT becoming the R-class and being renumbered 172-176.

In 1936, 152 and 153 were sold for further use on the Ballarat and Bendigo networks respectively. Numbers 151, 174-176 were rebuilt to operate all night services in 1937 and in this role travelled across the network. They were withdrawn after all night services ceased in 1957.
