Vandalism on this scale is appalling and the sentence is a joke, it just goes to show how soft we have become here in the UK, our laws are either watered down or they are out of date.

I think a fitting sentence is to put them through a bad lads army style of punishment as they need to learn respect and more importantly discipline.

To the guys who lost their hobby, it was not about the money, it was their time and building they’ve done over the years that is priceless and the sentimental value they had over their layouts, which they will never get back.

I can’t imagine how they are feeling losing their hobby, but I would hope we would never have to suffer as they have. We should all stand shoulder to shoulder in the hope that this never happens to any of us and I hope our judges come down off the planet they are on and get in touch with us the common people.
