Subject: Liverpool C. T. 88
Maker: Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works, Preston
Truck: Brill 21E
Seating: ?/22
Location: Preston, Dick, Kerr works
Date: c.1899

Liverpool 88 was an early Preston car. The presence of a coupler and lack of trolley pole give the impression of a trailer car. However, the coupler would have been intended for coupling with the German-built trailers which were part of the rather eclectic early fleet for Liverpool. This type of tram was known as a 'Little Emma' in Liverpool.
