A new diesel train which has been built for the Isle of Man Railways will arrive here next month – costing the taxpayer £400,000.
The Department of Community, Culture and Leisure says it's good value for money – as the price included the design, build and shipping of the locomotive.
Substituting the old Viking diesel it's set to become the fleet's multi-use workhorse as a maintenance train, fire train and a recovery train for others that have broken down.
Minister Graham Cregeen says the Island got a good deal:
Glen Maye requisition meeting scheduled
