Covered 10 ton Grain Hopper Wagon, Robert Hutchison, Kirkcaldy, No.5

Built 1897.
SRPS Core Collection, on display as "sectioned" exhibit, Hutchison livery.

The vehicle and Leith General Warehousing wagon no.120 also in the collection illustrate a Scottish variant of a wooden bodied bulk grain hopper wagon.

Although this looks like a covered van, the internal floor slopes steeply from each end towards the centre, and there are hopper doors at the centre for discharging the grain.
