I can never get my head around mindless selfish behaviour. Hopefully the damage isn't too bad.


Royal Deeside Railway, an award-winning Victorian station preservation complex, said the break-in and theft of tools and broken windows totalled up to £3,000.


The damage was discovered by staff on Sunday morning at the site in Milton of Crathes, Banchory.




Windows were found broken on one diesel locomotive and a work wagon, while a battery powered reciprocating saw and rail saw were stolen.


The railway is now looking to raise £3,000 to replace the items taken which are essential in bringing a new platform into service, and also to replace the laminated windows that were smashed in the break-in.

I am so sorry to hear this, hope they get the stolen property back and catch the thieves. Heritages lines are losing enough money as it is a the moment, without things like that happening.

They are looking for donations on their website to help replace the stolen equipment and repair the damages made.
