The four vehicles are (left to right) a Divisional Ford Transit van, an Austin A55 Patrol car, an Austin A99 Traffic car and a Jaguar Mk9 Traffic car.

Regent Quay
3577 One of the two plates depicting a pannier tank shunting engine.
It appears to be 0-4-0ST model locomotive built in 1925 by Andrew Barclay to work at the Aberdeen Corporation Gas Works, as indicated on its side. It was employed there until it was replaced by diesel power in 1964.
The locomotives transported coal from the harbour to the gas works. As the railway ran alongside public roads they were fitted with side skirts which covered their motions.
The locomotive has been restored as a static exhibit at the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford, Aberdeenshire. Regent Quay
