Marshall5 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Photos 1-3 of the ex CDJR railcars on the former Peel line just outside Douglas station. You can see the end of the workshops and bracket signal in photo 3. Looks like some track clearance going on so maybe early 1967? Photo 4 is at Ramsey MER station. Photos 5-9 are at Snaefell Summit. Photo 10 shows the CAA Wickhams outside their shed at Laxey SMR. Thanks for posting them. Ray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall5 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 In post 604. Number 1 is the old Derby Castle terminus of the Manx Electric and Douglas horsetrams before the canopy was demolished in the early 70's. " 2 - 6 are at Derby Castle MER sheds. " 7 a Douglas bound tram passing Derby Castle tram sheds. " 8 a Ramsey bound toastrack near the old Douglas Head Hotel with Port Jack shops in the background. " 9 Light engine movement in the former Peel/Ramsey line departure platform at Douglas IMR station. " 10 Douglas running shed. " 11 Coaling on the engine release road Douglas Stn. I suspect these photos were taken in 1968 or 1969 as loco No.4 Loch did not return to service until 1968 and the container runners (from coaches scrapped in 1967) appear in photo 11. As the Peel platform appears to be used for stabling spare stock I'm leaning towards 1969 (services to Peel & Ramsey ceased in Sept 1968). Hope this helps. Ray.
