The tramcars and trailers of the Manx Electric
Railway are wonderful vehicles - lovely objects to
point the camera at, and a most enjoyable way to
travel on the double-track tramway from Douglas,
via Laxey, to Ramsey.
After arriving at our hotel on Monday, the MER was
our first objective. A couple of days later, it was our means of
transport to get to Groudle Glen, and later to travel on to
Laxey to see the water wheel. The following day, we
rode straight through to Ramsey, then back to Laxey
for a trip up Snaefell. On our last day, in order to
visit the 19”-gauge mines railway at Laxey, we rode
once again on the MER - and, our last trip, back to
Douglas.
