Since the early 1990s, Paddlebox 27 has been the dedicated Laxey based Poles and Wires Car. Modifications were made to 27's seating to provide mess facilities and its platforms were fitted with partitions and windscreens to give the crew some protection from the elements. 27 is seen here at Groudle in February 1994. The car has since been withdrawn and is currently in store. (Photo A. Spencer)
