	IVB 35^II, a single ended GT6 with recessed windscreen, ex Bielefeld GT8 (ex GT6) 810 with the middle body transferred to GT8 85. These trams are usually called Bielefelder GT6, series 31^II-42^II. Route 1 to Hugerburgbahn, Klostergasse (Bergisel reversing loop), July 1st 2002.
	IVB 53^III, a single ended GT6 with recessed windscreen, type Bielefelder GT8 series 51^II-53^III. This unit was built as GT6 in 1957 for Bielefeld tramways, transformed in GT8 814 in 1962, sold to Innsbruck in 1980 where it was transformed in GT6 32^III, finally in 1991 it became the GT8 53^III with the middle body from the ex Bielefeld GT8 (ex GT6) 809! Route 6 in Igls reversing loop, August 15th 2003.
	IVB 61, a single-ended Großraumwagen with recessed windscreen, type Lohner Großraumwagen series 61-66, built by Lohner in 1960. Car preserved in the Localbahnmuseum, June 29th 2002.

	IVB 82^II, a double ended GT8 with flat windscreens, type Hagener GT8 series 81-88. This is another car with an interesting history. In 1960 the double ended GT6 62 was delivered to Hagener Straßenbahn AG. In 1976 the car was sold to IVB where it was renumbered 82. In 1980-81 it was transformed in GT8 with middle body from the ex Bielefeld GT8 815. In 1983 it passed to AGStB (the operator of the Stubaitalbahn Innsbruck – Igls). In 1995, after a crash, the car was scrapped saving the middle body that was transferred to the ex Bogestra ⁽¹⁾ GT6 41, creating car 82^II. Finally, AGStB was absorbed by IVB in 1997. Route STB to Fulpmes, Maria-Theresien-Straße, July 1st 2002.
