Brake Van E.5

Used as a mobile store a Douglas Station at the end of Road Five for many years after withdrawal, this van was removed from this location prior to a visit by the Queen Mother in 1963 as part of a tidy-up of the station area, surviving unil the mass clearances of 1974 when it was moved to Ballasalla  Station along with many other items of redundant stock and scrapped.
