We run a heritage railway, maintaining and restoring railway heritage assets and providing both steam and diesel services for the public from April to September and at Christmas. This allows us to provide both the experience and education to the public of historical railway services.
Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'
Objectives: To preserve, as a working railway, for the education of the general public, part or all of the former Deeside Railway line from the Aberdeen Joint station to the former Ballater Railway Station. To collect, preserve, restore and display, for the education of the general public, appropriate examples of locomotives (diesel, electric and steam powered), rolling stock (passenger carriages, multiple units, railcars, goods wagons, departmental and engineering vehicles) and any other artefacts (including but not limited to signalling, permanent way, communications, materials handling and servicing equipment). To acquire, construct or lease such premises as are required to meet the aims of the Society and to restore and refurbish buildings of historical railway interest. To improve the areas adjacent to the railway and to encourage flora and fauna for the benefit of the environment. To enable and encourage members, irrespective of gender, race or disability, to participate to the maximum of their potential whilst making their full contribution to the goals of the Society.
