M.N.Ry. No.16 Test Train : 27th May 2026
The evening of Wednesday 27th May saw the first trial run for restored Hurst-Nelson bogie carriage M.N.Ry. No.16 with No.4 Loch as motive power for a run of the whole line to Port Erin Station and return, following the end of services for the day.
This carriage was repatriated in 2024 and has been meticulously restored to its original appearance complete with fleet number; it would later operate as F.37 following the merger of 1905 joined by sister carriage F.38.
