IMPORTANT
The Committee have now found another company to undertake binding of the "Record" for us, and details (and order form), with the Index for Volume 21, were distributed with the March 2023 Record.
Please DO NOT
send any further volumes of the "Record" to either the Society or Chew
Valley Bookbinders,
as thet owner is no longer accepting any new work; he is just completing existing binding
orders for us and others.
Indices to the "India
& South Asia" Handbook
The author prepared a comprehensive set of
indices for this book, but due to their size (110 pages)
and the fact that the book already exceeded 550 pages, it was felt that
including them would make the book too large & expensive.
However these indices are now available as a downloadable
Acrobat (PDF) file.
The Society can now accept payment in Euros, via our new Euro Bank Account
The Society is now making the 'Overseas News Bulletin' available on subscription to non-members
Now available as a download is an index of all amendments to IRS Handbooks that appeared in Bulletins up to No.600.
The Society now has a range of second hand copies of old issues of the "Record" for sale. We also have some second-hand copies of out of print IRS books for sale; please email Robert Turner with your wants and we will see if we can help.
The IRS has an email mailing list for members, based at Groups.io, a free, easy-to-use email group service. The purpose of this list is to enable members and non-members to exchange information about any aspects of industrial railways in the UK and elsewhere. News of impending events of an industrial nature are particularly welcome, as are observations of locomotives and details of sightings etc.
By joining this group, you'll be able to easily send messages to fellow group members using just one email address.
If you are interested in industrial railways, both in the UK and abroad, and wish to join this mailing list, then please send an email to Ken Scanes (the moderator) requesting membership, with "IRS mailing list" as the subject. Please note that this list is now open to both IRS members and non-members alike.
