Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters Association
The Association was founded in 1966 to examine the possibility of reopening the Isle of Man Steam Railway, but following its reopening in 1967 by Lord Ailsa and later by the original Railway Company, its activities included voluntary work on the railway, publicity, donations for specific railway projects and the operation of a souvenir shop at Douglas Station. However, following the purchase of the Steam Railway by the Manx Government in 1977, the activities of the Association diminished although maintaining a 'watchdog' role to ensure its continued operation at a reasonable cost to the taxpayer.
During 1982 the Association began the ambitious project of the restoration of the Groudle Glen Railway which continues to this day.
In 1994, the Association completed two projects on the Steam Railway with the cosmetic restoration of locomotive No.6 Pevril and providing new water tanks for No.15 Caledonian. The Association will continue to support the Railway in the future with capital projects.
