North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group

North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group

The North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group (NELPG) was formed in 1966 with the intention of preserving some of the steam locomotives then still working on regular goods or passenger trains in North East England [1]. Now, its aim is to have as many of its steam locomotives running on the main line or preserved lines as possible. For instance, the K1 no. 62005 pulls tourist trains every summer on the West Highland line. The group's workshop is at Hopetown Carriage Works, Darlington although it also has a workshop and base at Grosmont, the northern-most station on the North York Moors Railway. Members of the group hold regular evening meetings to discuss railway subjects, have a membership newsletter, and have produced various publications.
