No.4 Loch on a northbound service train with No.13 Kissack shunting in the yard and No.11 Maitland on the sidings in a busy scene during a photographic charter as photographers capture the scene; it is common for the station to be used on photographic work owing to its attractive environs and period features.

No.4 Loch stowed on the siding with a private charter in the summer of 2023 using luggage van F.49 built in 1926, the final carriage built for the railway.  The locomotive carries its original Salter safety valves which were refitted during her most recent overhaul so the locomotive appears in its 1950s configuration.

Quiet times between trains offer the opportunity to carry out daily tasks such as tending the flowers, painting fences and emptying the bins - the glamour! Happily this is one of the scenes on the railway that has altered the least over the years, the picket fencing and macadam platforms being the most obious recent additions.

2024 saw the completion of the replica advertisement hoarding by the Friend Of... group with sponsorship from Bushys Brewery over a five year term. The whole project took a decade to reach fruition, from the genesis of the idea, through fundraising, planning permission, and erection in readiness for the anniversary.

Funded by Castletown Heritage and erected for the anniversary, the blue commemorative plaque being affixed to the wall before the big day 2nd August 2024.  The plaque was unveilved by former chief minister and president of the Friends Of... group, Tony Brown, O.BE. in front of invited guests and a large crowd.

No.4 Loch with a southbound train as the service heading towards Ballasalla Station disappears into the distance on the left, a daily scene in the peak season and one enjoyed by tens of thousands of passegners over the years.  After trains pass peace descends on the station again until the next services arrive.

Diesel shunting locomotive No.25 Sprout was based at the station in 2024 and volunteers repainted it for an appearance at the anniversary day commemorations, the name has since been removed, following a successful sense of humour bypass operation, though their are thoughts of its return in more enlightened times.

One of the more unusual movements, with Wickham No.22 on duty prior to the start of the services for the day; this is used for line inspections and fire trains. This unit is also used for weed-killing trains as well and also sees use on the electric tramway; it is one of two, the other being the petrol-driven No.23.

A typical scene with No.13 Kissack recently arrived with another busy train prior to continuing the journey south to Colby, Port St. Mary and Port Erin; this vantage point on the down platform is very popular with passengers who alight here and wish to capture one of the handsome Beyer, Peacock tank locomotives.

No.11 Maitland calls with the Platinum Jubilee special for Queen Elizabeth in July of 2022 with commemorative headboard, shield and with flags.  It is common for the railway to mark a whole series of events in this manner and the railway museum at Port Erin has an overwealming displays of previous headboards used on locomotives.

Locomotive No.5 Mona and the Foxdale Coach were displayed at the station for its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebrations in August of 2024. This locomotive was cosmetically restored by the Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters' Association for the anniversary, followed by No.9 Douglas.

The new photographic display panels created by the Friends Of... volunteers ready for public inspection prior to the plaque unveiling on anniversary day in 2024. It is hoped these basic panels can be expanded upon in the future if plans are permitted for the group to use the goods shed as a visitors centre and attraction area.

Winter maintenance at the station in February of 2025 included lopping several overhanging tree branches on to up platform, Joe Wood Tree Surgeon. It is only when the railway is not in operation that it becomes possible for these essential works to be carried out.  They remain ongoing each winter.

No.4 Loch taking water with one of the popular summer evening dining trains which call regularly throughout the season, the dining train regularly calling here and locomotives take water before the return trip as the crew are also fed and watered by the on board caterers.

The timeless scene of trains, passing, No.13 Kissack dressed for Manx National Week in July of 2024 with her driver Eddie Venn passing No.11 Maitland.  The sight of the trains passing is one of the most popular with photographers making the station bustle on a summers' day with the click of many cameras.

Shortly after completion of a repaint No.13 Kissack is seen in the opening days of the 2025 season with a lighter shade of green and vermilion lining beside the advertisement hoarding on the up platform; regular driver Paul Kitching keeps the locomotive immaculate with sparkling brasswork and copper pipes.
