Brill-32
In the years 1926-1928 the workshops constructed 12 cars equal to the Brill-28 type but with an extended saloon with eight windows at each side instead of seven. Seating was for 32. With the CCFP these tramcars had the numbers 250-253, 256-259 and 284-287. The last four were renumbered by the STCP into 254, 255, 260 & 261. The original GE270 motors were later replaced by stronger Italian CGE motors. Car 250 is now part of the museum collection. The 254 and 260 went to Yakima in the USA and the 252 and 258 found a new home in Buenos Aires (Argentina).Technical data
