MER[HI] - Car 12 at Derby Castle, 1904.

MER[HI] - Car 12 at Derby Castle, 1904.
Car 12 - Cattle Car.
Parked at Derby Castle in 1904, just after rebuilding into the unique 'Cattle Car' from passenger carrying format. [but this statement is clearly contradicted by info here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_Electric_Cars_10-13 ]
Another two cars were 'Sheep Trailer' cars. There were loading docks for livestock at Derby Castle, Laxey and Ramsey, allowing livestock moves between these main towns.

Sad this was scrapped, maybe some rich benefactor would like a replica creating ?

I know why it was scrapped : basically - carrying livestock and the cleaning required is highly destructive to wood & metalwork.
