DISASTER ! ................

 

The following message from John arrived this morning:

 

"This morning I have woken up to find we have been burgled, or more accurately the shed has been broken into.

Whoever has done this has forced open the up and over door.

I have spoken to the police and am not allowed into the shed until they have been. I had to go in to close the up & over door and from what I can see ALL the locos’ have been taken. The shed is in a right bloody mess ,The cheeky have used some of the stock boxes to take the stuff."

 

Later in the day he was allowed into the Railway and is now prepairing an inventory of all the missing items. He wrote:

 

"I’m allowed in the shed now, so here are a couple of shots of the carnage!

 

 

 

They missed three of the loco’s, only tank engines I’m afraid, and the rail motor.

Thankfully they had no interest in the coaching stock. Apart from the locos’ the laser and a portable amplifier I had have gone and for some reason the large alloy box the trams are kept in. I have pictures of all but the latest locos added to the fleet (sorry Steve) Pauline and I will now start to make as complete an inventory as we can.

Surprisingly the layout seems unharmed, they even lifted out one of the roof sections to get at the locos and carefully put it down next to the roof box.

This could not have come at a worse time having the family here. At least my grandson did get some running time!"

 

We would appreciate any assistance from our RMweb friends in tracking down the stolen items, which also include some 0 Gauge items out of a display cabinet and a Loco Headboard.

We can't believe they have been targetted by an EM gauge modeller, and the thieves probably don't know they are not 00. They might have some unsatisfied "customers" if they try to move them on.

 

We'll keep you informed of any developments when possible.

Please send any information you come across to me as a PM on RMweb.

 

Thank you,

Steve Hewitt.

I've just realised after watching the video that mine is missing the accessory pack. Not too concerned about the exhaust pipe but as I intend to run it solo I would like the dummy couplings. 

Hi Phil, we can send you a accessory pack if you like? 

Can you contact us directly with your order number so we can check your details?
