LCC No 1 is a lot more important than most people think. At the time of it's formation LT went against trams, and in a big way. Understandable as the only really modern trams on the books were 104 Felthams, prototypes plus production cars and LCC No 1. Well, it seems it didn't quite stop there as the LCC had ordered 100 sets of trucks from EMB. Now somehow or another the order was transfered to Liverpool along with the drawings of No1. And the rights to the patterns. So LCC No1 in a way was responsible for fathering the broad designs of subsequent Liverpool cars and as such it is very important.
