The last of the first batch of four saloons delivered from the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., Ltd., of Saltley Works in Birmingham in 1905, originally consisting of two separate third class saloon vestibules, as with F.29-F.31 which are shorter than the later F.35 and F.36 which included first class accommodation.

They were originally purple lake and off-white, a scheme which remained until the outbreak of the Second World War with some variations, and at this point an austerity brown livery was applied; save for livery changes which began from 1946 when the familiar post-war red and cream livery was phased in.

Use on special services in the latter days of the Ramsey Line as Mooragh Specials, and remaining in this guise until 1972 when fitted with bus-style windows and bus seating in an effort to improve ventilation and comfort, at the same time as receiving the all-over red livery as illustrated below.

Chosen to form part of the new The Bar Set in 1980 together with F.31 and F.35 with sponsorship from SeaLink, the traditional windows were refitted at this time, but the original large droplight was not reinstated and roof mounted torpedo vents were removed.  Fixed seating was provided in brown leatherette.

Initially running in maroon and cream, this was changed to red and white in 1985 to match the bus livery.  It would remain like this when the purple lake scheme was re-applied in 1992 when it was in the process of being adapted as a standard scheme across the fleet, reverting to red and cream in 2001.

It was extensively overhauled by contractors in 2010 and when returned to traffic carried replica flip-over seating to match the originals; it was later withdrawn and converted to become part of the dining train, joining the set in 2014; it remains in this guise today, with a second corridor connection and dining seating.
