Our Members' Journals

Every quarter our members are sent through the post the most tangible evidence of their membership - our two super journals. Every member is entitled to each and every issue of these journals that are published during their period of membership. Membership periods are defined at the start of our web page about joining the Society.

What members say ..

I received yesterday the new SRS Journal, what a well produced magazine which does the society credit.
The publications are excellent.
I have to say the quality and standard of The Signalling Record is a fantastic Magazine, splendid and very well produced, a credit to the society.
I never forget the important work the society does, which is not done elsewhere. It also produces a particularly interesting magazine, and has a really welcoming group of members when I get the chance to attend a get-together. So thanks are more due to you and others for keeping the ship afloat! There are many railways but only one SRS.
Very good value for money, so much information available.
The SRS Journal is a magnificent magazine. Absolutely first class. It is a pleasure to read it.
Thank you, it all gets better every year.

The Signalling Record

The Signalling Record is a glossy A4 size magazine of at least 36 pages of which around half will include colour photographs and diagrams. Publication coincides with the four seasons of the year - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. First published in January 1987, it has been sent to our members regularly ever since.

Each issue features articles about signalling written by our knowledgable members for our members. These articles contain information gleaned from the author's years of research and often draw content from the Society's own archives as well as those of others.

There are regular features in each issue as well: The Signalling Digest, a round-up of changes and developments in signalling; Letters to the Editor either seeking information or clarifying some point about a previously published article; and a Query Corner where members are invited to solve a puzzle for another member.

A list of contents commencing with issue 1 is available. Why not download a copy and peruse the breadth and depth of the range of subjects covered. Whetted your appetite? Yes - then you can download some sample pages from recent issues of The Signalling Record and see for yourself the value and quality our members get.
