IOM Railways & Tramways 14 July 2010

We are pleased present an issue of stamps to showcase the remarkable Railways and Tramways of the Island

The Island is uniquely served in terms of transport. The Victorians left their mark with some of the finest locomotives and trams in existence. The transport enthusiast can travel the length of the Island by antique means – steam trains, horse trams and electric tram cars are all proudly maintained while the journey takes in some fabulous scenery.

Our set of six stamps features the steam and electric transport with some stunning images and a collectable souvenir sheetlet.
