Trammer Rocky at a fast trot on the rebuilt route along Douglas Promenade. He's hauling Tram No.29, built as an enclosed saloon for 30 passengers in 1892 by Geo Milnes, this was rebuilt between October 2017 and January 2019. Not my image, posted for educational & information purposes.

Anon "trammer" with a sunshade - roofed toastrack - tram at the Derby Castle terminus collects some pats from a happy passenger. [Tramcar No.45 in the background}

Unidentified "trammer" - probably "Andrew" on the basis of the black forefoot - with a "sunshade" toastrack at the Sea Terminal end of the horse tramway's route along Douglas Promenade. [not actually at the Sea Terminal itself, but a few tens of yards along the promenade] {Currently - 2023 - the progress of the promenade "revamp" has truncated the tramway at Broadway / Villa Marina. Planned to return to the Sea Terminal, but when, that is The Question}

mint with the hole patrol ! Ian is trying to persuade the driver / groom to hand over a mint ... Ian [a Clydesdale gelding] is providing the one horsepower for enclosed saloon tram No.1. In the background are open toastrack No.42 and "Royal Tram" No.44 - the safety fence on the right is to segregate the MER [the low road] tramway terminus from the horse tram area.

Tram No.18. double decker, originally built in 1890 by Metropolitan C&W [converted to single deck in 1904 and back again in 1989 during restoration] current livery, deep red (maroon) with gold details, including the advertising panels [Okell's Brewery] No.18 is used very rarely, normally pulled by two trammers and to reduce the weight is only partially loaded.

One horse-power provided by "Ian" - harnessed to Tram No.1 , an enclosed saloon for 30 passengers, built as a replacement in 1913. As the ground shows, it's been a bit wet, hence the use of the saloons.

No.4 Loch Promenade, Douglas. The 1887 Jubilee Clock is on the extreme left. It was manufactured by Walter Macfarlane & Co at the Saracen Works in Glasgow, and some parts were sent to England for restoration in 1996. [it was re-sited onto a new plinth in 2013]

Quite a bit of work needed on the outside. (Apologies for the soft focus - new camera on loan - was having trouble with the controls and not happy with the light levels)
