Manx Electric Trailer 59
Introduction This article details '''Trailer No. 59''' of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.This is the smallest item of passenger stock on the railway, and referred to as the '''Royal Saloon''' or sometimes ''"doll's house"'' owing to its diminutive size. It became known as the royal saloon/trailer after a visit to Royal Ramsey (so dubbed from the visit) by Queen Victoria and has since carried royalty on a few occasions. It remains rarely used in traffic and stored at Derby Castle Depôt after a number of years on display at the visitors' centre at the terminus.
