Trailer 19 which was out of action for half a century has been nominated

One of the Manx Electric Railway's trailers has been nominated for an award in an annual Tram of the Year competition.

Trailer 19 was out of use for 50-years but was restored to its 1894 condition - with varnished woodwork and canvas curtains - by volunteers, including those from the Laxey and Lonan Heritage Trust.

British Trams Online is also accepting nominations for its Tramway of the Year category.

Previous winners of that award have been Blackpool 159, Manx Electric Railway 2 and Stockport 5.

Voting closes on at 10am on 6 January, which can be found HERE.
