In late 1994 work began on the construction of a replica works car on the Snaefell Mountain Railway No. 7 (colloquially known as "Maria") intended to be an historical representation of this car as an attraction for the line's centenary the following year. After limited use on the mountain line and following a change of railway management the car was deemed to not be of use so it was converted to the 3' 0" gauge for use on the coastal line and re-numbered 34 in sequence with the line's other power cars. It was also painted in a high-visibility yellow and red livery and fitted with a large diesel generator so it can be used in the event of power failure. In 2025, for the Snaefell 130th Anniversary, No.34 was returned to its historical grey colourscheme and the No.7 was restored to the fronts of it. It is currently in regular use.^[1]
