The Royal Scotsman

The Royal Scotsman is a Scottish luxury charter train run by Orient-Express Hotels Ltd.

The train is composed of nine cars; two dining cars, five state cars, one crew car, and one observation car.

The two dining cars are named 'Victory' and 'Raven' with seating for sixteen and twenty people respectively.

The observation car was converted from Pullman Kitchen Car - 'Snipe' - built in 1960 by Metropolitan Cammell. It was acquired by GSWR (Great Scottish and Western Railway Coy) in 1989 and converted into the observation saloon.
