    The 2026 Manx Heritage Transport Festival kicked off this morning and runs to Sun. 2nd. Aug. Full (updated) details here https://www.iombusandrail.im/media/3622/manx-heritage-transport-festival-2026-230726.pdf
    There was a private photo charter out yesterday with MNR No.4 Caledonia, 2 plank open M78, recently restored MNR brake compo No.16 and Foxdale brake F39. Seen below at Castletown on the newly reinstated cattle dock siding (photo courtesy IoMSRSA).

    Thanks for posting that, Ray !

    I can't get over for the Transport Festival, I was hoping that I could squeeze a trip in, but no such luck.
    Looking forward to seeing F38 join that line up in due course.

    Alas, financial constraints prevent me from attending the Festival this year :( Hopefully I might go at the end of the season when flights/hotels might be a bit cheaper. I'm still anxious to catch Cale before she goes out of ticket!
