The Industrial Railway Society caters for enthusiasts interested in privately owned locomotives and railways at home and overseas. We produce a quarterly magazine, the Industrial Railway Record, a profusely illustrated magazine; a bi-monthly UK/Irish Bulletin containing topical news, and a quarterly for overseas news; access to a well-stocked archive; visits to and rail tours of industrial railway systems; a book sales service, many Society publications being available at discounted prices; locomotive information service from the Society’s team of records officers; and a photographic sales service. In addition, members will receive periodic amendments to the Society Handbooks covering the United Kingdom and overseas. All prices are inclusive of delivery charges. Overseas members are charged a slightly higher subscription to reflect increased postal charges. If you are a new member joining between 1st January and 30th June your membership will be backdated to 1st January and you will be offered free copies of two of our UK books, Industrial Wagons and/or one of the UK Regional Handbooks (softcover and not secondhand) and/or one of our Overseas books – either Benelux, GE4 (Baden Württemberg) or Western France. New members resident in the UK may also select a free copy of one of our UK regional handbooks (softback edition, subject to availability). Alternatively, if you join after 30th June your membership will run through to the end of the following year. Whether you are a new member or renewing an existing membership please select below whether you are resident in the UK or overseas (including the Irish Republic) and then select the type of membership that suits you from the list shown.
