Join KL&L!

Key, Lock & Lantern's directors, officers and members invite you to join with us. Since 1966, KL&L has been providing railroadiana collectors with comraderie, education, and enjoyment. We have some great things planned for the year ahead.

Why Should I Belong?

Members receive our excellent quarterly magazine also called "Key, Lock & Lantern". It provides articles for railroadiana collectors and historians, a vehicle for sharing information and photos, and a way for members to get to know each other. While our name implies only three kinds of railroad collectibles, the organization and the magazine covers all types of railroad collectibles.

We periodically produce a membership directory to help collectors find other people with similar interests.

Our annual convention has been held each Spring in Albany, New York for over twenty five years.

Members receive help from fellow members and KL&L staff in identifying railroad artifacts in their collection.

How do I Join?

Our application blank is available by following the membership form link below. The top and bottom portions of the form should always be filled out. The directory information (middle section) is used in our membership directory to help bring collectors of like items together. While this section is entirely voluntary, we highly recommend that all members fill out this portion of the form. Members joining before September 30th receive all past and future mailings for that year. Members joining after September 30th will receive the last KL&L magazine for that year and all publications for the following year. Membership cards are distributed with the Spring issue of the magazine.

How much does membership cost?

Membership dues are the following:

  • $25 for members in USA (includes 1st Class mailing of magazine)

  • $30 for non-USA members (extra due to foreign mail rates)
