Closed Van Gr.14 (M.N.Ry. No.32)
A unique van in the series, constructed by the Manx Northern Railway Co., Ltd., and similar to the earlier examples for that company delivered from the Swansea Carriage & Wagon Co., Ltd. in 1879 for the opening. Out of use latterly in poor condition, it survived in the yard at Douglas Station until the mass scrapping of 1974 when it was moved to Ballasalla Station and disposed of.
