The Society

In early 1950 members of the Bradford Model Railway Circle got together and started a correspondence group discussing the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway.

They placed an advertisement in the March 1950 issue of the Model Railway Constructor inviting like minded individuals to join. By 1956 a regular Newsletter was in production and its first editor Tom Wray was at the helm.

Since that date membership has grown steadily and now there are over 800 members in the UK and overseas.

The Society aims to bring together all those with an interest in the ‘Lanky’ whether it be in historical research or modelling.
It also holds and maintains large collections of photographs and drawings and with its information service points interested parties in the right direction.
