Council to auction off historic trams
As part of Douglas Borough Council’s package of support measures to help the Department of Infrastructure run the horse trams the council is to auction six trams no longer essential.
Regeneration and community committee chairman Stephen Pitts says the council has agreed to help the Department of Infrastructure consolidate its horse tram stock, for which the department will keep a large fleet of trams of historic interest for operational use.
The trams to be auctioned are a winter saloon, three bulkheads and two ‘toast-racks’ in differing conditions, but all in need of renovation.
The auction will take place on Saturday, August 27, at 11am, with viewing for the two hours before that at Murray’s saleroom, 8-10 Allan Street, Douglas.
All interested bidders must contact the saleroom for registration and bidding approval.
