Just found this on KZbin. My one and only trip was over 50 years ago! What an experience for you.

Outstanding video! I had heard of the Isle of Man but would never of thought that there would be an electric tramway. Count me as a new subscriber from Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

On the south side of Douglas, there is a steam railway that heads to Port Erin. They offer 'ultimate driving experience' days too. I'm not so much interested in steam, but it's worth looking up. Both the railways are caught in a sort of time warp. There is also the Snaefell mountain railway out of Laxey. They don't do 'UDE' on that line - possibly because due to the nature of the line, they don't feel it would be safe to have unqualified drivers on the extreme grades on this railway. On the steep grades mistakes could compound quickly.

Unfortunately the SMR is currently shut down over safety concerns following an incident.
