Dingwall Engine Shed

Annual Draw 2025: Aviemore Running Shed

Our aim this year is to support the construction of the new running and lighting up shed at Aviemore. The current Highland Railway engine shed, built in 1898, is showing signs of deterioration caused by the acidic atmosphere inside the shed. This is caused by the sulphur laden smoke coming from the locomotives when they are lit up and getting up to pressure. We want to build a new shed to modern standards for the lighting up of locomotives and performing minor running maintenance tasks, but at the same time create a building that looks in period with a design based on the Highland Railway shed formerly at Dingwall. This project will then free up our historic original shed for overhauls and major maintenance works. The planning application has been approved (details can be found on the Highland Council website here) but note this campaign is for the running shed only. Every penny from these ticket sales will go towards helping our staff and volunteers achieve this goal.
