This article details Trailer Nos. 45–48 of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.

Supplied by G.F. Milnes & Co., in 1899 each seating 44 passengers, these trailers all remain today with the exception of 45 which lost its body during the winter of 2003 and was converted into a flat wagon in a way that summed up the management's attitude to their historic tramcar fleet. The bodywork has however been retained for future use.
