These are available to members through lists of monthly offers and also as stock items at a slightly higher price. Lists of photographs relating to particular subjects e.g. locomotives, rolling stock, sections of line are available.

Reproduction of photos is strictly forbidden without this clearance, a verbal or even written approval from any other member or officer of the Circle is not adequate. There is a fee payable for use of photos and this, together with the agreement of appropriate acknowledgements to the photographer/donor and the Circle, must be settled before reproduction.
