Boys sentenced for trashing Stamford model railway show
The parents of three teenagers who deliberately trashed a model railway exhibition worth £30,000 have been ordered to pay compensation.
The Market Deeping Model Railway Club display was damaged at Welland Academy in Stamford, Lincolnshire, on 18 May.
The boys, and a fourth defendant, shared a bottle of vodka as part of a "pre-exam night out" before going on a "rampage", a court heard.
Lincoln Youth Court heard the youths had deliberately pushed tables over.

I recall this incident when it was first published and looks like the kids got off pretty easy.

The damage these little vandals went far beyond pushing over a few tables. The little cherubs put in a lot of time deliberately trashing the set-ups and models at that show. What cloud-cukooland judge or prosecutor could be so full of brown fecal matter that he or she would think their rampage was merely “pushing over a few tables”?
