[quote user="BRAKIE"] Think of those few "mature" adults and that causes derailments by pushing on the side of a freight car..[:(!] Then how about the HO car or truck that  shows up on a road crossing waiting for the next train? Think that was done by magic? The perpetrator knew exactly want they wanted to do and moves along to watch the show.Still we grit our teeth and rerail the train or replace the car or truck in its rightful place. Of course visitors can be rude as well in many ways..Not speaking when spoken to,snickering and making rude comments.[/quote] Brakie, best way to discourage this sort of behavior is give them a result.  For a bit on the club layout we had "issues" with a canal.  Cars a people kept ending up in it.  So finally we put a couple of junked cars in it and a junked car along a mainline, that looked like it got tagged.  Now the only problem is keeping the junkers in the water.  Parents keep pulling them out and placing them on the apron, because they think thier kids put the cars in the drink.  Caught two or three parents scolding thier kids, and had to intervene.
