Peripheral topic on restoration. Many of us have read about the model train show raided by vandals in England this past week. Three underage kids systematically destroyed every model and exhibit they could find at a model train show, many antiques, all without duplicates. The kids were caught and face charges, but what's really important is what happened afterwards. R&R singer Rod Stewart and several others, including Roger Daltry (of The Who), have come forward to help compensate and rebuild the lost trains.
