    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.

    Wow, that looks great, well done, guys. I guess I am not the first to think it, but I see a photo opportunity coming with the above, the Foxdale coach and the teak finish Cleminson in the same train, hauled by, you guessed it, Caledonia.

    Agreed that would be a super MNR set. Plus, maybe MNR 15 if it’s serviceable and not forgetting F38 when restored.

    Lovely images !

    I've not seen her out on the line, just up close in workshops, and I'm back home on the mainland now.
    I agree that MNR 16 aka F37 looks stunning - I'm very pleased at how she's turned out !
