Disco Matt:
It's a really good museum and worth a look - IIRC the tram in those photos is the one they built using the top deck of one London tram and the bottom deck of another, as the only other surviving example of the type is stuffed and mounted in the LT museum.

Those trams have a fair turn of speed when the driver uses all the power - can remember one in particular that had real "shove in the back" acceleration!
