The IRS has started an email mailing list for members, based at YahooGroups, a free, easy-to-use email group service. The purpose of this list is to enable members and members to exchange information about any aspects of industrial railways in the UK and elsewhere. News of impending events of an industrial nature are particularly welcome as are observations of locomotives and details of sightings etc.
By joining this group, you'll be able to easily send messages to fellow group members using just one email address. YahooGroups also makes it easy to store photos and files, co-ordinate events and more.
If you are interested in industrial railways, both in the UK and abroad, and wish to join this mailing list, then please send an email to Andrew Smith (the moderator) requesting membership, with "IRS mailing list" as the subject. Please note that this list is now open to IRS members and non-members alike.
