This oddity from the very last years of the railway was a siding located outside Ramsey Station directly onto the main line; in order to facilitate its arrival within the compound of the sub-station there, the siding was laid on a very tight curve, so tight in fact that locomotives with their larger wheelbases could not negotiate it.  To solve this problem a coach or usually a runner from the "R" class was placed between the locomotive and the three converted wagons (M.60, M.61 and M.69) which had been provided with oil tanks.  The assembled train then continued to the northern terminus where the locomotive, usually No. 11 Maitland and occasionally No. 4 Loch latterly, would run round its train and depart.  These train operations represented the last movements on the railway, taking place until 1969.
