Four-Wheel Carriage C.13
One of the first batch of carriages supplied by the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., Ltd. for the opening of the Peel Line in 1873, from 1882 this was close-coupled with A.9 and in 1910 the two were mounted on a new bogie underframe from the same manufacturer to create “pair” F.68; the timber frames were then used to construct Fish Wagon No.2; the carriage was sold off-island in 1975 and in 2024 became part of a museum at Aberystwyth Station fully restored.
F.68 in latter days when used as a spare carriage at Douglas Station in 1968.
F.68 fully restored in 2024 showing bulkhead and restored lamp detail.
