The German Railway Society was founded in 1981. Membership is over 400 throughout the world. Our aim is to encourage interest in all aspects of German railways and, to a lesser extent, Austrian railways.

Whilst we do not intend to duplicate the worthy work done by other societies, it is impossible to separate many of the aspects of the German and Austrian systems.

We welcome all interests, prototype enthusiasts and modellers irrespective of scale and make of model railway. We are a national society with local groups who hold meetings in many areas of Britain.
