Post by Michael RaabThank's to all! - I've found the needed images.

Just a note that Jerome Fine collected together a set of 24 RT-11 releases
(from V01-15 on a DECtape to V05.07 on an RL02 disk) in the form of a
consolidated CD-ROM image.
You can download the CD-ROM from
http://pdp-11.classiccmp.org/RT-11/dists/RT11DV50.ISO.zip
If you're using SIMH PDP11 you can access distributions from RT-11
partitions on the CD-ROM using a SIMH ini file like -
; File rt11.ini for SIMH PDP11
set cpu 11/70, 4M
set cpu noidle
set throttle 10%
set dz disable
set hk disable
set tm disable
set rq enable
set rq0 cdrom
att rq0 RT11DV50.iso
; This is for copying an install disk to.
; For older versions use DECtape (tc) or RK05 (rk)
set rl enable
set rl0 RL02
att rl0 RT11V57.dsk
boot rq0
; end of rt11.ini
Unzip the CD-ROM from the zip file into an empty directory with the above rt11.ini
and start SIMH PDP11
$ pdp11 rt11.ini
PDP-11 simulator V4.0-0 Current git commit id: 852c0bc1

/Users/tony/rt11/rt11.ini-7> att rq0 RT11DV50.iso

Each of the CD-ROM four partitions is available as device DU0:, DU1:,
DU2: and DU3:. There are two files on DU0: called README.1ST and
README.2ND you should examine for instructions and the layout of
the CD-ROM.
For example, to make a bootable RL02 disk containing the RT-11
V05.07 installation kit, copy the disk-image file from DU2:RTV5RL.07
to the RL02 media using -
.copy du2:rtv5rl.07 /file DL0: /dev
DL0:/Copy; Are you sure? Y
Output device is larger; Are you sure? Y
Now you have the installation disk on the RL02 in drive DL0:.
You can now perform an installation by booting this disk - but to do this
you should halt SIMH PDP11 and revise the start-up file to add another
RL02 device (as rl1), and boot from rl0. See the appropriate RT-11
installation guide for details (installation normally requires two additional
RL02 disks - one to make a backup of the installation disk, and the other
to make your working system disk).
