For many years the Industrial Railway Society has run tours to see industrial and preservation railways overseas. We pride ourselves on going to out of the way places and unusual railways that are rarely covered by other tours. These tours are also open to non-IRS members. Why not come along and see something a bit different?
Serbia - 5th - 12th October 2008
In conjunction with the Locomotive Club of Great Britain we shall be visiting Serbia again, to go to the places we missed in 2007, and to return to some of the best ones. Less ambitious days will be programmed this time, and there will be no steam charters on the mainline, to keep the costs down.
News up-date
We have been unable to produce a final leaflet and booking form, because we are still waiting for a price from our Serbian agents. However, this is to confirm that we had sufficient enquiries to justify proceeding, and the programme that follows has been agreed with the Serbian authorities. Several of the locations have active steam, and (if you haven't been there) the Mokra Gora narrow gauge tourist operation is very well worth visiting.
As soon as we have a price, I will be in contact further with those on the mailing list.
