These two trailers were supplied as replacements for those lost in the Laxey Car Sheds fire of 1930 but are of similar construction to the earlier trailers; they are the youngest rolling stock on the line, save for the motor car No. 22 which was completely rebuilt following a fire in 1992 and converted trailer No. 56.
