JEEZ! Yeah, that's the problem with little kids.... You have my deepest sympathies. Being 17, and having a 11 year old brother, I have many hard to bear memories as well. Back when I had an HO layout, ohh this hurt, he and his friend knocked down my Spectrum SD-45 and smashed it. You'd think they could NOT TOUCH! And usually they were good about that. Let's see, also had an O-27 steamer....knocked down from a 7ft high shelf, that engine was a couple pounds, smashed in the front and the floor. Well, by far the worst incidents are with my mom's clients. She does referrals for gifted kids in elementary school...... some of those kids and/or their siblings are just pure evil. So it was Christmas time and I had my G scale FA and B as well as an NW-2 around the tree. These kids ran into walls, knocked vases over, and yes kicked around my beautiful $300 motive power. I was ready to go for my pellet gun..... I guess the moral is that (I believe) this is a sort of rite of passage, especially for younger modelers like us. [banghead] Hope you get 'em back though..... unless that's immoral. Ahh, the fury of the model railroader..... LOL Hope things get better for you Martin
