The Beamish fleet consists of six beautifully restored vehicles:
- Gateshead 10 - one of our three local trams, built in 1925.
- Newcastle 114 - built in 1901 for the opening of Newcastle Corporation Tramway.
- Sunderland 16 - built in 1900 and ceased running in 1954.
- Blackpool 31 - was built in 1901 and was in service in Blackpool until 1984.
- Sheffield 264 - (currently undergoing a major overhaul) dating back to 1907.
- Tram 196 - originally from Portugal, built to a pre-First World War design and now painted in Gateshead livery.
