Cattle Vans K.13 (ii) - K.15 (ii)
Forming the final vehicle of the series, these were three replacement vans built by the Railway Company in-house at Douglas Station and using underframes from former four-wheel passenger carriages.
K.13 (ii) used the frames ex-C.3 (later transferred to the chassis of B.1 in 1949) and was later scrapped, K.14 (ii) used the frames ex-B.18 and was scrapped in 1961 with K.15 (ii) being built on the frames of B.16 and scrapped in this form in 1958.
