No.11 Maitland was supplied in 1905 and is seen here in 1947; it would be re-boilered in 1959.  The original advertisement hoarding is seen to good effect.  The locomotive is in regular traffic today carrying the spring green livery following a major overhaul and return to traffic in 2022.

The jib of the breakdown crane towers over the goods shed roof in this detail from the other photograph as above showing the details.  This crane was mounted on a four-wheel timber frame and and ended its days stored in the goods yard at Ramsey Station where it was scrapped after the line's closure.

A Classic scene from the late J.D. (Doug) Darby as No.5 Mona arrives at the station with a typically short train of two carriages in this 1951 view, from April of that year; Love Lane Bridge can be seen in the distance, the area to the right is now part of a modern housing development.

No.3 Pender with a short train in 1953; one of the original trio of locomotives built for the opening of the Peel Line in 1873 and later sold to the Museum Of Science & Industry in Manchester in 1980 where it became a sectionalised exhibit; it remains in this form on display today.

It was common for freight stock to stand in the yard awaiting its next use, here are two varieties of van and one of the drop-side wagons. The front van is one of those inherited from the Manx Noirthern Railway in 1905 and dates from its opening in 1879, supplied by the Swansea Carriage & Wagon Co.

A busy scene with No.11 Maitland and hoards of passengers; until platforms were added it was common to alight trains from both sides as seen here. Trains could be alighted and boarded from either side until the introduction of the platforms in 1998 as seen here.  The hoarding promotes dancing at the Derby Castle complex.

Built in 1908, No.12 Hutchinson is arriving from the south showing the advertisement hoarding to good effect, twice the size of the replica now on the same site. Other than the lack of platforms a similar view may still be captured today; the water tower stands in the trees in the distance.

Detail showing one of the drop-side wagons beside the cattle dock, a feature for many years, a replica being planned by the Friends Of... volunteers in the future. Only one such wagon remains today, M.78, having been fully restored by the Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters' Association in 1998.

No.12 Hutchinson at the station in a classic view showing the canopy too good effect and the original entrance gate to the right serving the hardstanding. The re-establishment of this entrance gate has been considered by the Friends Of... volunteers as part of their recreation of historical aspects.

Viewed from a train arriving from the south this view shows the station flagpole, reinstated by the Friends Of... in recent times to complete the scene.  The rear of the sign shown bore the legend "No Road" advising passengers that there was no right of way along the line - modern versions are rather more obtrusive!

The first of the railway's cranes was supplied by Thomas Kiss & Co., of Birmingham for the 1873 opening and is seen here in the goods yard siding; the platform seen on the right was partially removed to create additional car parking as part of renovation works in early 1994 when the siding was shortened.

Billboards all filled with advertisements on the hoarding, Kodak film had a contract for many years at all the stations, Jack Chilcott & Son were bill-posters for many years, their name adorns the top of the replica hoarding in place today as a nod to the past and small attenton to detail.

Standing largely unchanged for many years, the 1902 goods shed was still a thriving hub for transportation of goods in the post-war period. Note the drop-side wagon on the right, showing the original extent of the rear siding which was later shortened to make way for patrons car parking,

A colourful scene showing the advertisement hoarding to good effect and No.12 Hutchinson with a southbound service train; the canopy can be seen here in its bottle green scheme carried for many years; colour views from this period are relatively rare, also showing the post-war scheme carried by the locomotives.

No.16 Mannin crossing the Silverburn Bridge on the southwest end of the station, note the frame which once carried a river-fed water tank. This was the last locomotive built for the railway and dates from 1926, considerably larger than the earlier locomotives but broadly to a similar appearance.

An archive view showing the canopy prior to removal of its ornamental veranda in 1955 also showing the timber hut which is believed to have served as a stores. A selection of milk churns await collection typifying the nature of services provided by rail until the closure in 1965.

A snap showing a train taken from one of the most popular vantage points at the station; the locomotive is No.8 Fenella heading a southbound train. One of the railway's lorries stands beside the canopy, this was possible until the site was later modified with raised lawn and later half-height platforms.

Promotions for forthcoming attractions at the Gaiety Theatre in Douglas are prominent in this zoomed view of the image above showing No.11 Maitland. This 1947 view shows what appear to be a row of similar bills posted and was used to acheive the correct look of the replica, completed in 2024.

The time-honoured scene of trains passing at the station which can still be seen on a daily basis today in season, No.10 G.H. Wood and No.13 Kissack.  Today all scheduled services have passed here since the closure of Ballasalla Station, making for a popular photographic spot on a daily basis in season.

No.16 Mannin was larger than the other locomotives and featured a larger boiler and square cab, distinguishing it from the earlier locomotives supplied.  It entered the railway museum in 1976 and was removed for feasibility studies for a return to service in 2019, presently in a dismantled form.
