With borders to the Isle of Man starting to open up for the summer season, I spent a very enjoyable wet and overcast week visiting the island, including enjoying trips on the dinning train from Sunday lunch and a Thursday evening Pie and Mash train. In the video we see the railways three operational locomotive operating between Douglas and Port Erin on service trains and dinning trains.

The real life Sodor, amazing!
Man and Sodor and England is near together
What a trimendous video of the IOM steam railway , l thurly enjoyed it, maybe it's because I stayed in the IOM many years ago for a Week, but anyway as I said I have thurly enjoyed this great video, so many thanks to everyone who has made this great video.
The train as Thomas and friends
A] I would love to revisit the Kingdom of Man and do more on the surviving railways. And B] to have seen the system of old in all it's glory before the closures and retrenchments.....
What a fantastic little railway, I only live in Lancashire and somehow didn't know about this one!
Interesting that, as Man is of course Sodor's sister island, these engines have never appeared either in the works of Awdry or in the subsequent TV productions. What characterful little engines those Beyer Peacocks are.
They used to do package trips to the Isle of Man, but you never see them advertised now. It would be nice if they did this again. Winifred Thompson, Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
We saw quite a few groups and coach parties, so some still going.
Loch looks so good with the Salter safety valves, and its good to hear another high pitch whistle
You're a really useful railway.
What a beutiful Railway it is
Isle of Man is the UK's Paradise Island in many ways. Viking as opposed to Norman (Feudal) governance. One reason to hate the Ancient French Elite (never the French People who I admire)
7:25 the Castletown railway station, that was used as a filming location in Thomas and the Magic Railroad
On my bucket list
One to watch enjoyed it very much.
Beutiful 🚂🇬🇧💕 thank you!!!!!
Definately somewhere on my wish list to visit!
Nice ,been on 2 train rides on the man one up to snowfjaell cant remember what the town name was on the other lovely trips almost 20 years ago
A beautifully shot and edited video -congratulations. This brought back many happy memories of the four consecutive years I visited the IOM in the 1960s when it was possible to ride the whole system. I would by a weekly rover ticket and spend my days on the railway. I got to know some of the footplate crew who would give me illicit rides on the loco. They were very friendly and tolerated a railway mad teenager who constantly pestered them!
You're a really useful engine.
Wonderful video, thumbs up :)
Hi I remember when the railway used to go to the north of the Island Ballaugh sometimes the loco had to reverse before it go forward,it would be nice if it could be restored to go North.
We can pretty much confirm that "Hutchinson" is the real Thomas, since they put that cute face on him every year at Christmas from what I heard.
Man and Sodor is the same
for some reason ive never watched any videos of the IoM but there is quite a waddle on caledonia in this clip 2:43
I do enjoy a Manx railway video so want to get over there what are the current restrictions/rules for travelling over there?
Have to be fully vaccinated to travel to the island and have to complete an online form + landing card in advance, then no restrictions once over there.
This used to run to Peel if I remember ?
Yep, Peel (and Ramsey) lines closed in 1968.
How many miles/km of track does this railway run?
Just over 15miles
@@preservedrailway Ah, I see, thanks
Hasn't this country electr or diessel trains?Or only steam?I am a railfan from Greece. I am looking for persons railfans for letterwriting to exchange photos and other informations about trains. The letterwriting postly and no e: mail because I don't use e: mail.
That whistle is horrific talk about eardrum splitting why don't you Brits have cool son and whistles like American steam locomotive whistles instead of these high-pitched pathetic screeching headache-inducing whistles
Hey, don't be rude
Because when you hear a high pitch whistle you know to get out of the way as a train is coming and when you hear a deep whistle like the American locomotives then you know it’s lunch/ home time at the many factories that were across the country
There’s no cause to be rude. We all have our likes and dislikes but it’s not worth complaining about such a small thing. The uploader just wants to film trains and upload it for people online to see, that’s it
You like American steam locos? That’s fine. Watch videos about American steam engines, it’s that simple….
Yet you took the time to watch the video, grow up
I know your American and this might be hard for you to take but the rest of the world doesn't have to do things the American way.....
