We treat the locomotives we own as a team, with a program of running and maintenance, such that proceeds earned in operation fund a planned maintenance program. By this means it is intended to provide a public benefit in the form of the experience of steam train running.
In addition, instruction in steam engine theory and practical operation will be provided to volunteers and the general public by training in footplate operation and as members of the support teams. It is feared that without such a program, skills and knowledge will be lost, and the experience of steam locomotive operation will become so expensive that it will be hard, if not impossible, to sustain.
The Royal Scot Trust are the proud owners of six steam locomotives from across Britain. You can explore our fantastic fleet at our sister site Icons Of Steam.
