Established in 1975 in the former Isle of Man Road Services bus depot adjacent to Port Erin Station, the Isle of Man Railway Museum is home to a number of locomotives and items of rolling stock as well as many smaller exhibits and headboards aplenty.  It is open when the railway is in operation and accessed via the gift shop which is housed in the former goods shed with an entrance on Station Road at the foot of the platform.  On opening in the summer of 1975 it was home to M.N.Ry. No.4 Caledonia at the head of a Manx Northern Railway train consisting of Six-Wheeler N.41 and closed van Gr.12 and No.16 Mannin and the Royal Saloon F.36 and Governors’ Saloon F.75, joined the following year by No.1 Sutherland which was plinthed on an isolated section of track.  There have been a number of changes to the exhibits over the years, with No.4 Loch being displayed prior to her return to traffic following a successful appeal by the Association from 1998, her place being taken by No.6 Peveril.  A partial refurbishment by our volunteers took place in the winter of 2013/2014.
