This past winter has been a very busy one in the workshops at Derby Castle with a number of trams having enjoyed repaints. Many of these may have just replicated what they carried before but for 48 its a return to what is the more standard fleet livery of red, teak and white from the blue and ivory. In this view we see the trailer at Laxey with Winter Saloon 21 for company as they prepare to go north to Ramsey. (Photograph by David Mee)
