    The society has organised many successful tours to Japan:


    There is also an annual & informal 'Veteran's Tour' where many of our long-term members
    journey around the rails of Japan,
    often selecting an area in particular and occasionally
    taking a side-trip to areas of rail interest in other parts of Asia.
    This annual tour usually
    takes place in the first half of each year. Please contact our Chairman for further details if

    you would like more information about these informal tours.
