The most powerful cars in
the fleet are U.E.C. Crossbench Cars 32 & 33 of 1906.
Both cars are fitted with 4 x General Electric 60 27.5 hp
motors giving a total power output of 110 hp. The Brill 27cx
trucks also make for a smooth ride. Car 32 was the personal
favourite of former MER Society Chairman and MER Motorman,
the late A.M. Goodwyn who lavished hours of his own time
painting the car including white wall tyres which are
visible in this view. 32 is seen here outward bound at
Groudle whilst working a nocturnal Private Hire to Ramsey on
Friday 20th August 1992. The tour participants well remember
the pleasure of riding back to Douglas chasing the 9.15pm
service car from Ramsey in the dark, on the front bench of
No.32. MER ride of a lifetime. Photo: A.S.
