Sheffield Tram 513, a double-deck vehicle constructed by Roberts of Wakefield, was part of a series of trams built between 1950. Designed by Sheffield Transport, it offered upholstered seating for 62 passengers, combining comfort with practicality. Powered by two Metrovick 101 DR3 65hp motors and equipped with air brakes operating on all wheels, Tram 513 represented a major advancement in the evolution of the traditional British four-wheel tramcar, marking the height of tramcar engineering of its era. Tram 513 remained in service for only ten years, following the closure of Sheffield’s original tramway system in 1960. It was subsequently acquired by Mr. J. Rothera of York and stored by the Middleton Railway in Leeds until September 1962. The tram was later relocated to the Cullingworth goods shed near Halifax, then to the Castle Museum in York. After a period of outdoor storage, it was transferred to Beamish in 1976.Restoration work began in 1978, and Tram 513 entered operational service at Beamish in 1983. In 1985, it was loaned to Blackpool Tramways to participate in their centenary celebrations. Following several years of service at Beamish, the tram underwent a major mechanical overhaul before returning to Blackpool in February 2001 on a long-term loan. Later on in its life it became a favoured exhibit at the museum here , on loan from beamish
