The gossip on the North Yorkshire Moors railway on Wednesday concerned a failure of the K1 on the Jacobite earlier in the week. This seemed to originate from a social media posting. Since no reports had reached the other members of the group, steps were taken to contact the Chairman and Jacobite footplate crew member to establish the facts.
The Chairman "trumps" the story: "No problems. K1 OK."
More fake news!

We are delighted to report that at the Heritage Railway Association awards dinner last night, NELPG won the Large Groups award for 2016, jointly with the North Norfolk Railway - yes it was a dead heat! Two awards were therefore made, and, on behalf of the Group, John Hunt and I collected ours - a large metal plaque in the shape of a wagon builders plate - from Sir Peter Hendy, Chairman of Network Rail, to whom we gave a copy of our 50th Anniversary book.
