TMK 101 is a type of two-
Engineer Mandl and his team of constructors in ZET's workshops finished constructing the first prototype, No. 101, on 4 April 1951. Three prototypes were made by ZET in their own workshops;
After withdrawal, a number of these trams were converted to service (non-passenger) vehicles. One car (prototype No. 101, together with matching trailer No. 592) has been retained by ZET as part of their historical fleet, and has been repainted in the current all-over blue livery.
A book written about this tram was called Tram 101: 1951-2008. (authors Dražen Bijelić and Željko Halambek).[4][5]
Trams of this design have also been used in Osijek (from 1963 to 1981) and in Belgrade (from 1964 to 1980).
Liveries
These trams have carried three different Yugoslav tramcar colour schemes, one for each of the different operators: in Zagreb they were cream-and-blue, in Osijek cream-and-red, and in Belgrade cream-and-green.
