Minor Railways
This Section, newly formed in March 2009, aims to provide an encouraging forum to support, assist, and provide guidance and to learn from those involved in the minor railway and heritage S&T community. This includes the purchase, preservation, restoration, installation, maintenance and operation of all aspects of S&T equipment, installations and buildings world-wide.

The Section proposes to identify best practise in relevant issues in order to share information and give guidance regarding items such as (but not limited to):

• Safety
• Legal Requirements
• Communication of industry relevant information
• Technical processes and procedures
• Compliance
• Competence

It also aims to exchange views and provide guidance on a number of signalling and telecommunications issues and to provide some information as freely available guidance notes. It is the intention to work with other likeminded organisations by agreement of the Section committee where practicable. It is also intended that the Section will be welcoming and encourage potential new members to join, to take part in events and to learn and enjoy signalling and telecommunications as a whole. If you do not work within the industry, but wish to join the Institution, this is the section for you.

The Spring technical meeting will be held at Ravenglass on 10 April 2010. Details and an application form can be found in the "More information" box at the right of the page.

All members of the Institution, non members and guests are welcome to attend meetings. It is intended that representatives from other likeminded organisations may attend committee meetings subject to the approval of the IRSE Minor Railways Section committee.
