This page details the rolling stock on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man, which is unique insofar as the railway still operates with all of its original tramcars and trailers, all of which are over one hundred years old, the latest dating from 1906. Save for a fire in which several cars and trailers were lost in 1930, all of the line's original rolling stock remains extant though many items have been out of use for a number of years, largely due to the decrease in tourism that the island has experienced over the last thirty years. Despite this, members of each class are still represented in situ today, though not all are in original form or in regular traffic. ==Motorcars== Original Cars 1-3 the original trio of tramcars dating from 1893, two of which remarkably remain in regular passenger service today Tunnel Cars 4-8 known as "tunnel cars" for their elongated appearance date from 1894 Illuminated Car 9 converted into an illuminated car for the line's centenary in 1993, the final of the "tunnel" cars Cattle Cars 10-13 unpopular and not in service for long, only one of these cars now remains, in rebuilt form as a cattle car Toastracks 14-18 the first set of open toastracks dating from 1898, all of which have survived and are still extant Winter Saloons 19-22 these cars date from 1899 and form the mainstay of the service fleet roday, with all four in operation Paddleboxes 24-27 the "paddlebox" cars are so-called due to their unusual footboards that are built to accommodate protruding bogies Toastracks 29-31 a further batch of three open toastracks supplied to the railway, capable of hauling two full trailers Toastracks 32-33 the final batch of cars and the most powerful supplied to the railway, capable of hauling two full trailers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manx Electric Railway rolling stock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
