Built by the LM&SR in 1943, Cowans Sheldon & Co 30 ton steam crane RS1073/30 is stabled on its home Depot Ayr on 4th April 1976, coupled to its 6 wheeled match wagon No. 770010. The Ayr Depot Tool Van No. QQV975241, ex LMS Luggage & Parcel Van No. 37882, is also attached. This Tool Van would appear to be the only vehicle of the three to have survived the intervening 37 years and can be found, albeit in a vandalised state, at the Scottish Industrial Railway Centre, Dunaskin Ayrshire.
