Brake Van E.6
Part of a third batch of two from the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., Ltd., of Saltley Works in Birmingham, the body was removed from its underframe (which was scrapped) in 1909 and reused as grounded store at Sulby Glen Station, the frames were destroyed in 1915. The van body survived on the site for many years but history does not appear to recall when it was eventually removed from the site, likely to have been at some point prior to 1975.
