Trailer Nos. 60 of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man, was built as a one-off order in 1896.
This trailer has chilled iron wheels making it unique among the fleet; when rounding tight radius curves of which there are many on the line, its wheels make a distinctive shrill ringing noise. It is painted in the short-lived 1957 nationalisation livery of green and white and usually hauled by similarly treated open car No. 16.
