Douglas Bay Horse Tramway

A Look Behind The Scenes

Barry Edwards
£9.99 Each

A fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of this unique tramway which operates along the promenade of the capital of the island, having done so since 1876 and still going strong.  Take a look into the stables complex at Strathallan Crescent and meet the famous "trammers".  This glossy A4 publication is richly illustrated and provides the reader with an interesting look into how the tramway operates largely unchanged for over one hundred and fifty years.  In recent times several of the iconic "toastrack" trams have been fully restored to award winning condition and the tramshed building completely reconstructed for the twenty-first century.  Copies are available at all of the railway retail outlets.

Your 125th Anniversary Souvenir

Andrew Scarffe & Barry Edwards

£9.99 Each

Issued to commemorate the milestone anniversary and again richly illustrated, take a look back in time at one of the most iconic parts of island travel, operating between the capital along the stunning eastern coast to the northern town of Ramsey since 1899, having initially opened six years earlier to serve the then-new attractions at Groudle Glen and a year later extending to the village of Laxey with its iconic water wheel the Lady Isabella.  Known for marking its many and varied anniversaries, notably the Year Of Railways for its 1993 centenary of operations, this booklet details the route, rolling stock, points of interest and operational details which make it a draw for visitors year after - second only to the legendary Isle Of Man Railway, of course!
