The first of these charters saw the return to service of Van 11. Last operating in 1997 this goods vehicle has recently been fully restored by the Laxey and Lonan Heritage Trust and has now returned to action. For the charter - on 2nd May 2025 - 11 was joined by Wagon 8 with the pair hauled on the day by 2. We see the trio at various locations on the line, meeting up with friends as they go along.

The following day saw the second of the charters as Tunnel Car 7 was partnered by Freight Trailer 26. This unique coloured combination (blue/white and grey) is also seen at various photo stops as the charter progresses.

That's not all we see in this collection though as there are also some general photos of the Manx Electric Railway in spring action and the photographer doesn't forget either the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway or Snaefell Mountain Railway, including some stunning shots of the latter up at the Summit.

Sit back, relax and just enjoy stunning phhotography from the Isle of Man!
