For over 60 years, the HMRS has been helping to record and preserve material on the history of Britain’s railways from the early 1800s up to the present day, and more importantly to make that material available to modellers, researchers and students. Today it is a thriving Society and educational charity, o ffering bene fits for all who seek to understand how railways have contributed to British geography, industry and culture. We collaborate with railway line societies and public museums to further the growth of historical knowledge. We supply information to model manufacturers both small and international.
Coronavirus Update 20 July 2020
Members: Points and the Journal should now arrive as normal.

Trading of HMRS products via the website: Only limited access to the M&SC will be allowed for officers but during the summer we expect to re-start delivery of orders already made and reduce the backlog. Although the website is still processing any orders made, we request that you do not order anything except transfers at this stage - you will have to wait for delivery an unpredictable length of time. Your account will be charged at checkout. No postal or phone orders will be taken until the M&SC re-opens to the public.
We are sorry for any inconvenience but of course this is still necessary for us all.
