One of the original batch delivered for the opening of the South Line from the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., of Saltley Works in Birmingham; this fell out of use following the arrival of bogie stock with integral brake compartments.  The body was removed from its timber underframe in 1909 and went on to see use as a grounded store at Sulby Bridge Station from April of 1910, with the the underframe used to construct Fish Wagon No.3 in the same year. After serving as a grounded store the body was scrapped in 1923.   The livery below is conjectural with two-tone green and gold lining detail, note the oil lamp housings on the roof.  Fleet numbers appeared in this fashion on the upper panelling of these brake vans as seen in other contemporary photographs, though there is a paucity of images of E.4 (i) itself.
