    Once part of Collection X the restoration of MNR No.16 (later IMR F37) approaches completion and it was out for a test run yesterday evening.
    M.N.Ry. No.16 was built in 1899 by Hurst-Nelson of Motherwell and is one of only two bogie carriages supplied to the Manx Northern Railway the rest being Cleminson 6 wheelers. It will enter traffic later in the season. Photos courtesy IoMSRSA.

    Absolutely stunning. I do hope there will be an opportunity to see it running with Caledonia before the latter goes out of ticket.
