MEMBERSHIP of the New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society Incorporated is open to all interested people. Young people over the age of 10 and under 18 years of age who are attending school or college may apply for Junior Membership at a reduced subscription. All members of the Society are entitled to a special price for Society publications when they are ordered from the Society. Members can also insert small private announcements or advertisements in "The New Zealand Railway Observer" and our newsletter, "Turntable", free of charge subject to availability of space and a limit of one advert per issue per member.

Within each group, A and B, a variety of current overseas magazines giving rail news are passed from member to member. Regional sub-groups are formed to give as little delay as possible in the distribution of the mail-outs. A total of 15 was made on 2009. Each member, when finished reading the pile of magazines posts them on to the next in the group. Postage is typically $4.20 for the mail-out bag.

If you want to be included in a group please let us know.

Each year 100 archival photographs will be selected from our extensive collection and put onto 2 CD's - 50 on each - for you to keep. The first CD will be sent out in about March and the second in about August. A small number of overseas members have signed on and it is hoped that over the years these will increase.
