How you can help the Midland Railway Study Centre

There is no charge for individual private researchers to use the Study Centre, whether visiting in person or making email enquiries. Our volunteers receive no reimbursement, not even for travelling, as they are happy to help. However, there are overheads in operating the Study Centre and we have a responsibility to properly conserve the material we hold and use. To that end, if you have received assistance from us and wish to show your appreciation, we have added this PayPal button for your convenience.

You could even go the extra yard by downloading and, if applicable, returning a completed Gift Aid form to us as well.

Donations made in this way (or by cheque to The Midland Railway Society) are "ring fenced" for use in the Study Centre. Thank you.

The Midland Railway Society is a Registered Charity - Number 1149613

Do you come here often?

If you do, you are obviously interested in some aspect of the Midland Railway and are getting some benefit from what we have to offer here — or so we sincerely hope! None of this would be possible without the Midland Railway Society and the Midland Railway Society cannot survive without members ...who are people just like you.

As well as supporting the Midland Railway Study Centre (and gaining access to some really useful exclusive resources for MRS Members), membership connects you with a wide ranging community of knowledgable, friendly and helpful like-minded souls through informative and convivial meetings, visits to places of historical Midland Railway interest and access to our well stocked bookstall. All for the incredibly reasonable annual subscription of £20. Membership also includes; our widely-renowned Journal (three per year), our new Modelling the Midland publication twice a year, and not least, a quarterly Newsletter.

With all that, what are you waiting for?
