Here's an image of the Haymarket area which I did in Wintrack; The North British Distillery is across the engine sheds on the mainline and the branch to Gorgie and Slateford. At Slateford was the corn market, so I guess here is where LGW picked up the grain for the North British Distillery. @Caledonian, note the Wester Dalry branchline which is Caledonian Railways

Hi folks. I'm working on a micro layout of the North British Distillery, Edinburgh in N-gauge. You can find some progress reports here at Steamteam.Wordpress. The LGW used these wagons to bring grain to the distillery and I've been looking for the right livery for a while. The Harburn Hobbies unfortunately is 00, so I have to redo the wagons completely. So which one is which? From the distillery I have a picture from the 1950's, so post war livery. During WWII it was common practise to shorten the names as to save paint, a practise continued after the war. So the full name will be the pre-war version that I need for my micro layout, though it will make things harder to paint. A little more info in this blogpost: Rolling Stock
