Activities
'It carries out activities or services itself'
'the advancement of education','the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science'
Our charity is set up to promote the education of railways in Scotland and of the Scottish railway industry. We do this by an established Museum of Railways in Scotland in which we manage, conserve, safeguard and document a vast collection of railway items. We display and exhibit items from this collection to the public in either a static way, or by operating them or by carrying the public in them. We can do this over our own five mile long heritage railway line at Bo'ness .
Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'
Objectives: To advance and promote the education of the general public, and in particular the inhabitants of Scotland without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating voluntary organisations, local authorities and other bodiesof whatever status together with the inhabitants in a common effort to establish a Museum of Railways in Scotland.
