Goods Van G.1 Restoration

posted 22 Sep 2019, 06:03 by IOM SRSA

Goods Van G.1 was transported by road last week to an Island-based specialist joinery firm to commence full restoration, a project being managed and funded by the Supporters' Association.

As can be seen from the accompanying photograph taken outside the Douglas railway workshops, a significant amount of temporary strapping was added to the vehicle to ensure its safe crane lift and transportation.

Published by the Manx Transport Heritage Museum which resides in the old Brickworks yard office in Peel, this new 36 page A5 size booklet recounts the remarkable story of a railway which served 26,000 people encamped on the Isle of Man from 1915 to 1920.

With a selection of historical and contemporary photographs, the booklet places the Knockaloe branch line into historical context, looks at the purpose, construction, and operation of the line, and explores the route today as a most useful rambler's guide for the more adventurous.

The booklet is available from the Manx Transport Heritage Museum and the House of Manannan museum in Peel, or from the Supporters' Association online shop. RRP £5.00 (plus P&P).
