As has become tradition, the week before the main Manx Heritage Transport Festival saw the Isle of Man 50 Group meet up again for a series of private charters on the various different transport systems on the Isle of Man. In this first of a two part gallery it is those charters we concentrate on, along with a few other general tram images from the Manx Electric Railway, Douglas Bay Horse Tramway and Snaefell Mountain Railway. With a lot of investment taking place in both restoring trams back to full working order and various repaints the systems are currently looking as good as they have for many years with highlights in this collection including Douglas Bay Horse Tramway 42 and Manx Electric Railway 19 and 51. We also see MER Ratchet Car 14 on an impromptu test run to Derby Castle. A full article on the events can be read here.
