First appearance of 107
107 had been in the garage since 1977 so there was great excitement when on the morning of 18th July 2009 it emerged blinking into the sunlight, now 20 feet long again and on temporary wheels.

Loading the tram onto the lorry.
Hutchinson Demolition of Dewsbuy had kindly provided a lorry to transport the tram. First we placed it on the skip, spun it around and secured it. then the skip was hoisted onto the lorry. this caused at least one society member some heartache. However nothing fell off.

Here 107 is seen travelling round the Leeds Inner Ring Road en route to Elland Road. It is travelling along this stretch of Wellington road a bit faster than when it had been pulled along there by horse 110 years previously.

107 in the Exhibition hall on Lowfields Road
Here 107 is shown inside the Leeds United exhibition hall on three lengths of temporary track. These had been used to leapfrog it some 30 yards from the doorway. This was the first time it had moved on rails since 1901.
