The Warwickshire Railway Society was particularly active in the 1960s. During that decade it organised a number of rail tours, such as "The Hants & Dorset Rail Tour" on 5 September 1965.[1]. The Society also published the book "Industrial Steam Locomotives of Central England" by RC Evans in 1969.
In 1969, members of the Society and members of the Severn Valley Railway Company jointly formed the 15XX Pannier Tank Fund to purchase and preserve GWR Pannier 1501.[2] 1501 was first steamed on 29 May 1997 "backed by the financial efforts of the Warwickshire Railway Society".[3] It also owned LMS 27218 Third Open.
In SVRSevern Valley Railway News 205 (Spring 2019) Nigel Cripps thanked the Society for its support in the overhaul of Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST Works No 2047.
The Society has no obvious public presence, nor is to be found on social media.
