GCT 1106 was a Hurst Nelson bodied "Kilmarnock Bogie" car entering service in 1928. Once described as Glasgow's equivalent to the LCC "E 1" class of trams, as far as the running equipment specified, they were latterly confined to the 9 and 26 services.
Once a decision was taken in 1954 that no further overhauls were to be made on these trams, this badly reflected their condition in comparison with the rest of the fleet. This view, taken between August 1960 and 1106's withdrawal in 1961, illustrates their shocking appearance. 1115 is now a static exhibit at the Tramway Museum, Crich.
