Trailer No.60 of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man, was built as a one-off order in 1896.
No.60 narrowly escaped the 1930 Laxey Car Sheds Fire; it was drawn out during the incident and repaired immediately afterwards. It reentered service a year later.
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 currently painted in the common red/white liverly, but was painted in the short-lived 1957 nationalisation livery of green and white in the past. It's usually hauled by similarly treated open Car No.16.
