21 september 1987 - Laxey, Isle of Man – Dumbells Terrace. MER saloon #19 at speed, crossing the main Laxey to Ramsey road. The third track in the foreground belongs to the Snaefell Mountain Railway, which runs alongside the MER into Laxey station, a short distance behind the photographer. The gauge of the SMR track is actually six inches wider.

21 september 1987 - Laxey, Isle of Man. The Manx Electric interurban meets the Snaefell Mountain Railway, another line with tramway characteristics, here at Laxey station. The SMR uses a slightly wider track gauge of 3 feet 6 inches, however, so through running isn’t possible. Note the original Hopkinson bow collectors still used by the SMR for current collection (unlike the MER, which changed to trolley poles soon after opening). Time has stood still here – like nearly all the cars in the SMR fleet, #1 dates from the opening of the line in 1895, whereas MER #19 is a relative youngster (1899).

Milnes Winter Saloon #20
18 june 1976 - Douglas, Isle of Man. Back in the days when the MER still attached goods vans to some of their trams, motor car 20 coasts down from Derby Castle depot to the terminus with postal van 20. Because the tramway runs through a district with poor road access, the tram conductor would empty post boxes on the way and take the letters to the post office.

21 september 1987 - Douglas, Isle of Man – Derby Castle. ‘Winter’ saloon tram #22 of 1899 and open ‘toastrack’ trailer wait to form a service along the 27.5 km interurban line to Laxey and Ramsey. Tickets can either be bought from the office on the right, or from the conductor on the tram (who will sometimes jump from car to car and walk along the side of the open tram whilst it is moving).
