Within 48 hours of a Model Railway Exhibition being senselessly destroyed by four teenage vandals, people from around the world have donated £45,000 to help the hobbyists rebuild their handiwork. Sadly, one of the men is 80 years old, but at least it will help to get them up and running again.
On Saturday, I saw the three last High Speed Trains (HST) leave Reading and as I buzzed our commuter train out, the HST departed at the same time with our passengers all crowding to the windows for a last look. Both the HST driver and ours exchanged fanfares on the horns to the delight of the enthusiasts on the platform!
You know, sometimes I think the world could learn such a lot from our railway hobby!
