Isle of Mann Horse Tram June 1999

A testimony to Victorian engineering and endurance, the Douglas Horse Trams have been in existence on the Isle of Man since 1876.

The trams were first introduced to take advantage of the booming tourist trade in Victorian times and to this day still carry tourists, and locals, along the promenades in the summer.

The three-foot gauge tramway is owned and operated by Douglas Borough Council and still runs with 21 original carriages including a special double deck tram.

44767 on the Nene Valley Railway May 1996

LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 44767 on the Nene Valley Railway 11 May 1996.

LMS number 4767, BR number 44767 is a preserved steam locomotive. In preservation it carries the name George Stephenson though it never bore this in service. Built in 1947, 4767 was renumbered 44767 by British Railways after nationalisation in 1948. The loco was withdrawn from service in December 1967.

44767 was privately bought and put in storage until 1974 when it was taken to Thornaby for restoration by the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group. It was then named after famous railway engineer George Stephenson.

The loco was based on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway before being taken out of service at the end of 2002 for a full overhaul. 44767 re-steamed at Morpeth, Northumberland, where she was overhauled, in December 2009. I believe that the loco is now at the North Norfolk Railway undergoing an overhaul.
