Non-Members You "should" be a member to enjoy our one-day mini-conferences but you "must" be a member to attend our annual conventions held in September or October each year. As seating is limited at mini-conference sites, members get priority over non-members. Please consider joining our Society. See our Membership page for information on becoming a member. Belonging to the Society provides a significant value in return. Benefits include invitations to our all conventions, plus you receive 4 issues per year of The Sentinel, delivered to your mailbox or available as a downloaded PDF. Also you get opportunities to purchase new models, books, and video’s related to the B&O as soon as they hit the market, at a discount from list prices. Our Company Store on this website has a wide selection of serious B&O items for historians, modelers or B&O fans. If you are a modeler, our downloaded Reprints contain information needed to accurately depict a B&O scenario, in many cases down to a particular year. Our annual conventions are not huge affairs where you'll be lost in the shuffle. They are typically a gathering of 75-100 friendly folks where great sharing of B&O history and modeling takes place. Annual Conventions feature a bus tour of local B&O interest, and where possible, tours of railroad facilities or industries served by the railroad. Don't miss the fellowship with a great bunch of people. We hope you will go to the Membership page and sign up.
