The Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust (RSL>) is a charitable trust set up in 2009, to enable ownership and restoration to mainline running condition of the London Midland and Scottish Railway Royal Scot Class locomotive No.6100 ''Royal Scot''. The trust has since been expanded and now owns a number of mainline locomotives in various states of repair, most of which are associated with the Trust's founder, Jeremy Hosking. ==History== The RSL> Ltd was formed in 2009 to protect for the long term, steam locomotives capable of hauling passenger trains on both the main line and heritage railways. Set up to acquire locomotive No.6100 ''Royal Scot'', the Trust became a registered charity in late 2011 when it acquired Great Western Railway 4-6-0 GWR 6000 Class No.6024 ''King Edward I''. The Trust's stated intent is to have representative locomotives from the following railway companies: *London Midland and Scottish Railway *Great Western Railway *Southern Railway *London and North Eastern Railway *British Railways RSL> locomotives are maintained to mainline operating standards and are operated on the mainline railways of the UK, in addition to preserved railways by Locomotive Services Ltd out of their primary base at Southall Railway Centre. Locomotive overhauls are undertaken by companies across the UK that are in a position to undertake the uniquely skilled work required to restore steam locomotives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
