Dr. R.P. Hendry (or "Locomotive 23") was the only locomotive operated by the Manx Electric Railway (MER) on the Isle of Man. It has since been joined by loco no 34, Maria.

Constructed by the railway company in 1900, and later rebuilt with wagon bodies on either side, the locomotive is now privately owned. It was restored in 1983 and operated as part of the centenary and subsequent celebrations, painted in the "Isle of Man Tramways & Electric Power Co. Ltd." livery. In 1992 the vehicle was named "Dr R. Preston Hendry" in recognition of the man who did so much to save the railways of the island at a difficult time.
The locomotive is currently stored in the Laxey Car Shed, placed on wooden blocks.
