Lamp on the external end of C.13. The "Pairs" were two of the original 1873 4-wheel carriages mounted on steel underframes, running on bogies. F68 was formed from A9 and C13, as their underframe dates from 1909, it is likely that this was the first "pairing". It was withdrawn in the 1970s and then sold to the Phyllis Rampton Trust. After restoration, and being put onto 2ft gauge bogies it is now on display at Aberystwyth.

Black & White image of passengers grouped at Peel Station. By the costumes, it is probably carnival day in Douglas. Date of the image is pre-1912, from the carriages visible. B1 & A1 formed "Pairs" F62 in 1925. B19 & C1 formed "Pairs" F64 in1912, and the B19 underframe was reused for van G.15. Not my image : Fair Use [research] & public information.

F.37 in the yard at Douglas Station in the spring of 1969; this carriage was built for the Manx Northern Railway as their No.15 in 1899. Became F37 in the IMR fleet after the merger/takeover in 1904. . [Currently - 2023 - under survey]. There is an unidentifiable bogie "runner" in the foreground - which would have previously carried two 4-wheeler bodies ie a "pairs" coach.

The doors aren't in the best of condition and the main waist panel has a long split - at least 12", maybe 18" long in it. Long since scrapped. . Not my Image : Fair Use & public information
