The Industrial Railway Society caters for enthusiasts interested in privately owned locomotives and railways at home and overseas.

Members receive four times a year the Industrial Railway Record, a profusely illustrated magazine; a bi-monthly Bulletin containing topical news; access to a well-stocked archive; visits to and rail tours of industrial railway systems; a book sales service with many Society publications available at discounted prices when first published; 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. Members can also download digital versions of the Bulletins.

This membership rate gives you the Industrial Railway Record and all the printed UK Bulletins, but not the Overseas Bulletin. However, you can view the digital copies of all the Bulletins, including overseas.
