Leith General Warehousing Co. Ltd 194 at the former SRPS base at Falkirk. Below the faded LGW initials and number, No. 6 can just be seen, this being the number allocated to this wagon by Robert Hutcheson's of Kirkcaldy, from whom SRPS obtained it. The wooden end stanchions and external support to the peaked roof of this 1897 wagon differ from the later wagons, as does the wooden solebar. Currently, the wagon is on display in sectioned form at the Scottish Railway Museum at Bo'ness.

Leith General Warehousing Co. Ltd 10T grain wagon 134 as running in May, 1970. Note that the body is painted in a shade nearer to maroon then than the red oxide/bauxite of the preserved wagon 120 at the Scottish Railway Museum, Bo'ness. The rake of loaded wagons had travelled from Leith round the Edinburgh South Suburban line and was parked in sidings by the distillery opposite Gorgie Station. About this time, the motive power for the loaded train was observed to be an EE Type 4 (Class 40) in blue livery.
