Manx Electric Locomotive 23

Dr. R.P. Hendry (or "Locomotive 23") is the only locomotive operated by the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.

First built as a loco by the railway company in 1900 and later rebuilt with wagon bodies on either side, this privately owned car is the only locomotive on the line. She is in store at present but was restored in 1983 and in service as part of the centenary and subsequent celebrations, in the "Isle Of Man Tramways & Electric Power Co., Ltd." livery. In 1993 the vehicle was named “Dr R. Preston Hendry” in recognition of the man who did so much to save the railways of the island at a difficult time. The loco is being stored off-site at present but it is hoped to return it to home metals in the future and possibly to service on demonstration and/or permanent way duties.
