Default Model railway exhibition trashed by vandals exhibition trashed by vandals
Some models too 20 years to put together


But how stupid to set it up in a School Gym.



[Model railway club raises £50,000 after
exhibition trashed by vandals
Market Deeping Railway Club had
to cancel its Stamford Show after
vandals trashed thousands of pounds of layouts.
Market Deeping Model Railway Club
in Lincolnshire found its
exhibition completely destroyed
as members arrived to open up
ahead of the first day of their annual Stamford Show.
The club's members had spent hours
painstakingly setting up at
Welland Academy but had to
cancel the weekend's events
after the scale of the destruction was realised.]

They wanted to vandalise it at 1pm, but the trains didn't arrive on time.

It's good to have a hobby, and these vandals have finally found their station in life.

If you can't set up a model in only 19 years, you deserve to have it trashed.

In a statement, it said: "About 0350 today (Saturday) we were alerted by a local resident that noises had been heard coming from Queen Eleanor School in Stamford and a short time later whilst we were on our way to the call, the alarm at the school activated.

"On arrival at the school we arrested four youths, who were on the premises, for burglary and criminal damage and they are in custody at Grantham.
