Following the news at the end of the week that Douglas Borough Council were to make six surplus trams available for sale by auction further details have now been released including confirmation of which six trams will be up for grabs. As mentioned previously any individuals or groups who are interested in purchasing one of the trams are required to show that they are seriously interested in preserving the vehicles and not just to purchase them without a plan.<\/p>\n

The six trams are confirmed as:<\/p>\n

Winter Saloon no. 28 of 1892<\/p>\n

Bulkhead no. 33 of 1896<\/p>\n

Bulkhead no. 34 of 1896<\/p>\n

Bulkhead no. 37 of 1896<\/p>\n

Toastrack no. 39 of 1902<\/p>\n

Toastrack no. 40 of 1902<\/p>\n

Only pre-approved bidders will be allowed to partake in the auction. All prospective purchasers are advised that are required to establish their identity, including Photo ID and to sign a declaration of intent regarding potential purchases. Registerations will close at 1200 on Friday 26th August ahead of the auction the following day.<\/p>\n

Bids will be able to be made in person (with the auction taking place at Murray\u2019s Saleroom, Allan Street, Douglas at 11am \u2013 viewing of the trams is available between 9am and 11am at the tram depot), commission bid (sealed bid), live internet bidding or by telephone. Any successful bidders will have to settle the account on the day of the auction and then have only until 30th September 2016 to remove the trams from Strathallan Depot.<\/p>\n

Further details of the auction can be found at http:\/\/chrystalsauctions.im\/next.php?sale=201608271100m<\/a> (this link includes links to the auction catalogue).<\/p>\n

Although there has been much complaint about this auction taking place (and so quickly) with some suggesting it is already a done deal it is worth pointing about that the auctioneers have sent emails out this morning to numerous parties who they believe could be interested in putting a bid in for a tram which will hopefully provide plenty of interest for the auction which takes place on Saturday 27th August.<\/p>\n

And anyone interested in bidding for a tram can stay behind after the six trams have gone under the hammer for an exciting sale of needleworks and samplers\u2026<\/p>\n
