THE Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS) is erecting an all-new engineering facility at the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway.
The development is being progressed thanks to a £741,500 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund towards its Steaming Ahead project.

The multi-faceted project will see the creation of a new engineering facility, which will be used to repair the SRPS steam locomotive collection and carry out overhauls and restoration work.
