The Historical Model Railway Society

 


The Historical Model Railway Society is a UK Registered Educational Charity built on a proven reputation for Historical Accuracy. According to The Oxford Companion to British Railway History the HMRS is "The Senior Society in Britain for the collection and exchange of information for historians and modellers of the railways of the British Isles."

A Definitive Rail History Source

The Society is one of the definitive sources of information on Britain's long and varied railway history, from the very beginning to the present day. It gathers, stores, and widely distributes historical railway information, thereby providing you with all the vital information you need to build historically accurate models. Whether you are a railway modeller, a railway historian or a railway enthusiast you will find plenty to interest you here.
