RESTORING No.5 MONA
We're currently restoring 1874-built engine No.5 Mona to public display condition after nearly 50 years in storage and partial dismantlement.
Our fundraising target for the cosmetic restoration is £12,000. Please help us with a donation of any amount.
The aim is to complete the work in time for the 150th anniversary of the Railway in July 2023.
THE SUPPORTERS' ASSOCIATION
The Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters’ Association was formed in 1966, the year that the original Isle of Man Railway closed for 'essential track maintenance work'. We are the leading charity for railway preservation on the Isle of Man.
We actively promote awareness and interest in the Isle of Man Railway and undertake Manx steam railway heritage conservation projects alongside the day-to-day operation of the railway by the Government.
THE STEAM RAILWAY
Dating back to 1874 and running 15¾ miles southwest from Douglas, the Isle of Man Steam Railway's 3ft gauge line to Port Erin is one of the oldest and longest in service narrow gauge passenger steam railways anywhere in the World.
The railway still uses its original vintage locomotives and rolling stock to provide passengers with an authentic Victorian and Edwardian travel experience through glorious Manx countryside.
