Overseas Publications

As well as its books on UK subjects, for many years the IRS has also produced books on industrial railways in overseas countries, and more are planned for the future. We also do the occasional book on non-industrial subjects, such as the current Spanish Narrow Gauge Locos book. The books listed below are all in A5 (5.8 x 8.2") format, with stitched sections and card covers, and contain a selection of photos and in some cases maps.
