Not quite steam trams but…
Definitely not steam trams but…
While doing this research, a number of oddballs turned up,
they are by no stretch of the imagination steam tram locomotives but they
are curiosities which most serious students of the subject would find
interesting , hence their inclusion on this separate page. I have not
included (steam) railmotors and steam railcars at this stage (not least
because they were never 'trams'), they will follow if I can find the time
and energy!

carries the name of the photographer concerned, as you will see further
pictures are needed. If you can fill the gaps or provide an alternative
larger image approx 800 x 600, please get in touch using the email address
at the bottom of the page.
Latest addition is the picture of the Nordmark Klarälvens Jvg
