The 2014 Isle of Man Railways scenic events calendar has been published.
 
It features new photographs of the Manx Electric Railway, steam railway and Snaefell Mountain Railway along with details of key Railways events planned for next year.
 
The calendar is available from the Welcome Centre in Douglas Sea Terminal, priced ?5. Call in to purchase a copy or telephone your order to +44 1624 662525. Postage and packing if required is ?1.50 for IoM/UK and ?3.50 to Europe.
 
February’s photograph of Caledonia at Castletown Station, submitted by Matthew Callister of Port Erin, was judged the winner in the annual photo competition run by IoM Railways. Matthew wins a return footplate ride on a steam loco from Douglas to Port Erin.
 
All successful entrants will receive a complimentary copy of the 2014 Railways calendar.
 
Ian Longworth, Director of Public Transport, said: ‘We were delighted with the standard of entries in our photo competition this year but it made an extremely hard job for the panel of judges to agree on a winner. However, we think we have put together a wonderful calendar that will brighten the walls of enthusiasts around the world and it’s also the perfect stocking filler for local residents who enjoy our Railways events.’
 
Entries are now being accepted for IoM Railways 2015 calendar. Photos should be saved onto a disc and sent to Anji Street, Isle of Man Railways, Banks Circus, Lake Road, Douglas, IM1 5PT, by 31 July 2014.
