TS Class 5 was a series of six trams built by Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk for Trondheim Sporvei. Four were delivered from December 1937 to February 1938, while two were delivered in May 1942.
The first four were delivered with four Siemens motors, each at 33kW. The last two were delivered during World War II with British Thomson-Houston, each at 31kW. The two BTH-engines underperformed compared to the sister engines, and were the only delivery to the Trondheim Tramway not from Siemens throughout the tramways history. The Class 5 was the first bogie cars used by Trondheim Sporvei. They remained in service until the Dalsenget fire on 10 October 1956, in which five of the trams burnt down. No. 6 survived the fire, and has been preserved at Trondheim Tramway Museum.[1]
In November 1942, Skabo also delivered five trailers, numbered 101 through 105. All of these were lost during the fire.[2]
