Though it’s probably already been decided by now, a good resolution in my opinion would be to have the boys rebuild what they have destroyed. Then you’d end up reproducing your team skills threefold. I got here because I wanted to know if you felt the following was a good starter kit for the boy who has everything but a train set.

It is simply terrible. The pain can not be described in words. I can not imagine how the grand modelers are coping with the loss of work of their lifetime. I am good in electrical and electronics. I offer to give my services if needed at no cost for my time. I am far away in India as a retired person with not kind of money to donate or go and stay there on my own.

All the damage they did.
Have them there every minute of free
Time they have, that should teach them
A good lesson.
Make them pay for the damages too.

There is no excuse no matter how weak for the brazen attack to the layouts at the club.
what those 4 hoodlums did to destroy a life’s work of a beautiful model railroad and the members of the club that enjoy the hobby shows how little regard they have for other peoples possessions.

I am sorry that I cannot donate to the fund to repair the damage that those four vandals created.
The damage is done and cannot be undone in the minds of the club members and will forever be on the minds of the club members.

Damage like this is senseless; and no amount of ditch digging penance or snow shoveling in the highlands is going to make up for it to the members of the club.
