This article details Trailer Nos. 40–43 of the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.
Trailer Nos. 40 and 41 were lost in the Laxey Car Sheds fire of 1930, but were replaced the same year with new trailers of similar construction. 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. Trailer Nos. 42 and 43 are still the originals and are both fully operational and in service.
