Sat, 31 May 2014

The Island's first museum dedicated to the Manx Electric Railway will be opened tomorrow (Sunday).

In the footsteps of the Steam Railway Museum in Port Erin, artifacts belonging to the tramway have been brought under one roof.

A wealth of items, which have been dug out of people's sheds, workshops or from storage, will be displayed at the Derby Castle headquarters.

The museum will be open to the public on the second and last Sunday each month from 11am to 3pm - admission is free.
