Isle of Man 'Pairs' Composite.  Ref: R19-17

These models are known as the ‘Pairs’ coaches. They came about when the original four-wheel coach chassis wore out. The railway took a pair of old bodies and mounted them together on new bogie underframes, and this is how they acquired their name. It is possible to have at least six different running numbers for each of the composite coaches. We supply these numbers on a transfer sheet for the customer to apply themselves. This means that if the customer wishes to run them as ‘data only’ on their customised railway, they can add their own personalised numbering system. These coaches are manufactured from plastic with die cast bogies.

Min Radius: officially 900mm (3 feet), but can negotiate 2'6" (R2) with care. The lower footboard can be removed if you have tight clearances.
