Schematic drawing of Leamington Priors Gas Company's Wagon No 24, one of 20 standard eight-plank wagons

Schematic drawing of Leamington Priors Gas Company's Wagon No 24, one of 20 standard eight-plank wagons. In the 1930s, the Gas Company had purchased a further fleet of 20 standard eight-plank wagons with a much bolder livery. This is a drawing copied from AG Thomas's Modellers' Sketchbook Private Owner Wagons which shows the body colour of red to have been retained with 'Roval Learnington Spa' diagonally across the wagon body between two broad bands and the words "Leamington Priors" on the top plank left hand side and 'Gas Company' on the bottom right hand plank.
