I’m walking backwards for Christmas – 11

Arriving at MER Laxey shed by Wickham trolley and trains pass on the main line….

Some interesting shunting.  I do like cars converted for other uses like this trailer.  [Correction – this vehicle was built like this as a bogie van, for transport of parcels, milk, and interestingly, coffins.  It has just been restored by the MER supporters and this was its first trip out.]  Note the man holding the trolley pole in place during reverse shunting….

Inside the works, plenty of restoration work needed….

And some excellent restoration completed…..

The unusual double ended engineers motor…

Next post, MER Derby Castle.
