Trainshow vandalism - USA style

Got this from a friend over the weekend.
Seem they have the same problems in the USA as we have in SA. Mindless vandalism.
The damage is estimated to over $200 000! Heart breaking. This is why Evert Loo and I never leave our valuable rolling stock at a train show. EVER!

Ai, Ai...... I saw it on BBC this morning as well.
Jip, That's why I do not leave anything at any show.
It is sad to see, the damage people can do

Looks like a UK rather than a USA school?

And the light at the end of the tunnel must be a train...
