F.16 as part of a mixed train in June 1960 at Ballasalla Station, looking like it had recently been repainted into red and cream.
April 1950 saw F.16 at Douglas Station in the wartime utility brown colour scheme with limited letterin detail typical of the time.
c.1955 and F.16 is at Port Erin Station on the bay platform still carrying the brown livery, the lettering detail more clear in this view.
