Cattle Van K.5 (ii)
Created in 1924 by the Railway Company in their Douglas Works using the redundant underframes from four-wheel brake van E.7 and replacing the original incarnation K.5 (i), in this form it survived until 1963 when it was scrapped. Of note, the body of the brake van saw some service as a grounded store at Sulby Glen Station.
