18 june 1976 - Ramsey, Isle of Man – MER station. Another view of tram 19, which has run round its trailer and is preparing to return to Douglas. Intending passengers wait for the signal to board whilst the conductor (in brown coat) gets ready to attach a postal van.

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).

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.
