By diesel to Port Erin

 

The Cabbage

Looking for some photos for a magazine article, I found these from 2014. I'm not sure what is rarer, Isle of Man Railways diesel No.21 actually working, or the load, a collection of Peel microcars!

21 and microcars

The loco has disgraced itself, and spent the last few years on blocks in the bus station car park. The reasons behind this are complicated, but largely stem from politicians trying to do something on the cheap, and ending up with a machine from a dubious firm, apparently. 

Peel cars

Whatever, this was one interesting train. A collection of Peel cars - P50's (including the prototype) and Tridents.
