Reporting about a major special event that never occured is a much
bigger error than a wrong loco number. I have seen errors about times,
loco numbers, etc... in Newsrail and other publications, but I think
these errors are so trivial they can be overlooked, especially if they
are corrected (where possible) in later issues. As for the russian
situation, yes that is unfortunate but it has nothing to do with
Newsrail or media reporting in Australia.
