Welcome to Norfolk Railway Society
About Us
We are a group of people who enjoy meeting to discover more about railways. We have a varied programme of meetings on the first and third Thursday of each month from late September through to May. We also put on a Show for members and the public every year. Read more...
UPDATE - August 2023
We have started work updating the website, including building a new members area which will be password protected. Members will be advised by email when this is available. The new Galleries Menu gives access to some previously published collections of images. We also hope to add images complimenting content in the Newsletter. Downloadable PDF copies of the current and recent Newsletters will also be available to members.
Meetings are listed in NRS Calendar (in development). Click the button to open.
