1993 was the centenary
of the Manx Electric Railway and was deignated the 'Year of the Railways'
with many special events happening on both the Electric and Steam Railways.
Here are some scans from slides taken in the early part of the year.

'The Manxman', or just the regular train with an unusual headboard? Maitland
