Stolen Locos

SMEE has just sent me this report from the Federation of Model Engineering Societies of two stolen locos and other equipment.

A 5" 2.6.2 GWR Prairie Tank loco finished in GW green livery has been stolen. The boiler number is N77-100-G25. (North Staffs ref. N9.273) with the current Boiler certificate C224452, and written scheme number WS016385. Along with the loco there was a coal truck acting as tender. Also taken was a 5" gauge two car Battery Electric set 5" gauge Loco with blue and silver livery, together with tools and equipment. They were in a Ford transit van parked in the drive of the owner’s house..

Please watch out for these items on social media and web sales sites, and if seen please report in the first instance to the Police (crime number 21210120462) and then pass details on to the FMES Secretary, contact details:

Thanks Neil.

These are the locos referred to in my earlier post, but could not insert the notice from the Northern Fed.

Hope that they are found, undamaged and returned.

Hope they are found and that the scum that stole them are severely dealt with. Yes I know I am dreaming, slap on wrists and a couple of hours community service if you’re lucky.

Sad news indeed after so much work having been put into them.

I regret to admit that I have nothing to fear in this regard, nobody, no matter how desperate, is likely to steal my efforts.
