 Like the rest of the suburban electric passenger fleet, these cars were painted all-over dark red-brown, later crimson with a black underframe and moonstone grey along the windows.In the 1950s this was changed to the familiar 'tomato' red, with moonstone grey on the window frames only.Routes where these operated included Hawthorn-Kew, Camberwell-Ashburton (later Alamein) and Eltham-Hurstbridge.
