The Ferryhill Railway Heritage Trust was set-up in 2007 to take over the remaining building of the former Ferryhill locomotive depot, restore it and transform the site into a working railway heritage site for the North East of Scotland. In this endeavor, the Ferryhill Railway Heritage Trust has the active support of Aberdeen City Council and the Ferryhill Community Council.

Some of the broad long term aims or the trust are as follows:

To establish a working museum and centre for education showcasing the rich industrial past of Aberdeen and Shire, in a way that is engaging, active, and exciting, whilst preserving our cities history, so that it is not lost forever.

To educate and inspire the engineers and designers of the future, though active participation and training in fundamental practical skills, and to engage young people in engineering and design activities.

To provide a working base for the service of mainline steam locomotives, so that Aberdeen can become a destination for the many steam excursions run throughout the country today, which will provide a direct benefit to local and regional tourism and businesses.

The Ferryhill Railway Heritage Trust comprises of The Royal Deeside Railway Preservation Society, the Deeside Railway Company, the Bon Accord Locomotive Society, and the Aberdeen Model Railway Club.
