Over the years, at various moments rolling stock was purchased. Of course at the beginning of the horse tram, and in 1908 at the conversion from horse tram to electric tram. But in the following years several new, small series of electric trams were purchased. The reason of this was a few times in the fact, that the transport demand became larger, but in the later years especially because there was network expansion.
The numbering of the rolling stock at the TVL is quite confusing. After the removal of a certain tram carriage, the vacant number was used for rebuilding trams, which often amounted to almost completely new construction. A chassis was bought, equipment was reused from old trams, and a new body was built on the new chassis. This created an almost new tram carriage. This method has been applied to both motor vehicles and trailer vehicles.
Here below you can find summarized data per tram series. In the first table there is data of the horse trams, as far as these are known (to me). The second table is of the electric motor cars, and the third table gives information about the trailer carriages.
Number of closed carriagees is (for me) unknown; in certanty there was a number 1
