Looking through the Lost Models Directory, it appears that models of all types are stolen, with locos featuring frequently. So, no matter what we model, security should be top of the agenda. Plenty of publicity helps recover some models, which is why I mention thefts when I hear about them.

Even if the model is insured you can never replace it with an exact replica. Am I right in thinking that most of these thefts seem to be of traction engines or is that just wishful thinking on my (loco loving) part? Barrie MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
