Purchased for the opening of the Manx Northern Railway on 23rd September 1879 from the Swansea Carriage & Wagon Co. This was one of few six-wheelers that remained in use into the 1940s and, as James Boyd states, “in case of special need, the 1950s...for instance on Tynwald Day in 1950”.  It was noted as derelict in 1968 and lost in the 1975 shed fire at St. John’s.  The half-height partitions on this example remained undivided, retaining its original configuration of three double third class compartments with open backs.
