Brake Composite F.15

This carriage was part of a batch of six delivered from Brown, Marshalls & Co., Ltd., of Birmingham in 1894 and is distinguished from the others of the series in having wider panelling between the compartment which is noticable when viewed externally.  It survived in regular traffic until withdrawn in 1998 and then stored in the carriage shed at Port Erin until 2020 when it was removed for restoration by off-site contractors, returning in 2022 and entering service; guards' compartment is at the Douglas end and the only carriage of its type in service, having wider partitions between the compartments, a trait shared with F.21 among others.
