I can recall a fair number of instances where the booked loco for a
certain working has been deliberately vandalised so that a replacement
of more interest to the "basher" had to be substituted. I have also
dealt with cases where "enthusiasts" have wrecked a coach in their
orgasm of delight at the sound of a 37 or 40 for example.

I doubt if such people represent more than a small minority of
enthusiasts.

Strange people.......

If people were all the same the world would be very boring.

True, we all need our share of thieves, criminal damagers, rapists and
murderers to liven up our humdrum lives. Perhaps I can send a wrecker
round to your place to make your day:-)
