Wow. That will a big loss. Unless the thief is keeping it for themselves, it will show up at swap meets or on that auction site. So hoping they are caught, quickly.
This brings up a good point. Does anybody micro inscribe their locomotives and/or rolling stock with some kind of unique marking so it can be easily identified if the items are recovered? I haven't, (yet) but this gets me thinking maybe I (we) should. I have a complete image set and appraised value of my collection for insurance purposes but I couldn't verify any of my stuff from any other stock item out there if it were stolen. Brian
Not to hijack the topic, but marking is a very interesting point. Of course a business probably can't, unless it will be designated as permanent display items. Which might not be easy to guarantee. I have not done more than an inventory, with some photos. Not sure how to mark, yet be able to easily re-sell marked items, should that day come. Plus, my hands just aren't good enough to do much small work such as this project.
It takes a lot of planing and balls to cut through a wall, but then again someone hacked up the traction cables and stole them for the Alco when ORHF was still at the Brooklyn Roundhouse.
I'll be curious to see where it turns up. That kind of model railroad equipment sounds pricey. It's not your run of the mill stuff they were after. I am hoping these jerks get caught.
No, they were never caught. They most likely sold them for scrap. Apparently that was a lot of copper. I guess Doyle got more because the Alco PA made from other types of Alcos works now.
