DVR Development Projects
We are currently fundraising for two exciting projects that are vital to the preservation of heritage railways in Scotland: the Heritage Rolling Stock Shed and the Wagon Repair Shed Museum. Click on the link below to find out more details about each of these projects and how you can support us by making a donation to help preserve our cherished heritage railways in Scotland.
Running a heritage railway is an expensive business we have several projects that we are running to help with the visitor experience and with our restoration efforts.
ARPG have a dedicated Fundraising Committee of volunteers who complete and despatch applications for grant funding, alongside your donations, but these take time and sometimes aren't successful, so your donations are essential in helping us run the railway.
If you wish to donate to help the future of the railway please use the link below.
