	The LMS Society - What was the LMS?
		It made what were conceivably the best general service passenger carriages in the country (and, let it not be denied, some of the worst!) and fed their occupants with probably the best "meals on wheels" to be found in the British Isles.
		Its associated hotels laid the foundations of the modern hotel trade (albeit that the former LMS establishments are all now in private hands) and despite its relatively short 25 year lifespan, it contributed more to the amalgamated British Railways system in 1948 than did any other single British company.
		All of the constituent companies have their own dedicated line society and their web-sites are linked from the appropriate company name.
