02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
To raise funds for the completion of a Highland Railway locomotive, scrapped in 1960s just after being marked for heritage preservation. The locomotive would then be 'hired' by heritage railways around the UK to raise awareness of the skills and techniques necessary for the building of the locomotive, as well as increasing the skill pool by training additional personnel on the correct procedures in firing and driving a steam locomotive. Additional skill training would be available for training personnel on the maintenance and upkeep of the locomotive - all highly essential to preserve rapidly dwindling skills and talents due to the demographic of those trained in the skills necessary for building, using, and maintaining said locomotive.
