Derby Castle
Every passenger carrying vehicle on the Manx Electric Railway is over 100 years old. This picture, taken in the workshop building, gives an illustration of some of the ongoing work required to maintain such an old fleet. The bogies in the foreground have just been fitted with refurbished traction motors and will now be refitted to a tramcar who's bodywork has been restored in the main running shed. Alongside is a trailer car that has had a large amount of woodwork renewed. Car 29, a toastrack with ratchet brakes only, is stored unserviceable and is a long term restoration candidate. Note the unlined inspection pit. Picture taken with kind permission of MER engineering staff.
