The Supporters’ Association celebrates its diamond jubilee in 2026 and kicking off the year in style, with the kind cooperation of Isle of Man Railways we will be hosting a special train on 1st January, the first time a train has operated on this date for many years. This train will be staffed entirely on a voluntary basis and all proceed will go towards our current major project, the full restoration of 1876-built bogie carriage F.6 which is ongoing. This will offer the public a rare opportunity to travel the full length of the line and Blow Away The Cobwebs as well as support our projects fund.
Last year the Supporters’ Association hosted the Whistle-Up event at Douglas Station as part of the Rail 200 commemorations, with No.11 Maitland and M.N.Ry. No.4 Caledonia both in steam and the workshops open for inspection. This event was extremely well supported and it is hoped our special train will be similarly well attended.
