Above: Based on the surviving image below of F.16 at Port Erin Station in the austerity livery, there were several variations on this theme, some carriages did not have the class designations on the compartment doors, on others (notably some of the "pairs") the figure of three was in a larger more elaborate style.  The carriage was used little latterly and banished to the carriage shed at St. John's from 1970 where it was destroyed during the fire on 10th December 1975.
