&nbsp The Great Laxey Mines Railway is a preserved narrow-gauge railway on the Isle of Man, United Kingdom. It operates on the unusual gauge of 19 inches.

Locomotives
The original line had two locomotives, built by Lewin co. of Poole, Dorset, in 1877. These were named Ant and ''Bee. ''In 1935, six years after the line closed, these were scrapped.

In 1905 W.G.Bagnall were asked to built a locomotive. It was to be a saddle tank, but sadly was never constructed.

In 2004, part of the line re-opened, and two new locomotives were built, to the original plans. A third locomotive, Wasp, was built by Alan Keef to provide backup (Wasp is battery powered). Two carriages were built by Alan Keef, and some ore wagons from a local Blacksmith.
