yes it is true,
a popular visitor attraction in Sutton Coldfield in the West
Midlands at Echills Wood Railway in Kingsbury Water Park became the scene of devastation,
as heartless vandals destroyed a much loved collection of garden gnomes that
adorned the railway tracks, the gnome "massacre" was discovered by
shocked staff at the railway attraction on Saturday morning, Jeff Stevens,
general secretary for the railway, said: "It has taken us years to build
our gnome village which gives the children and families lots of pleasure as
they travel on the trains,
"We had nearly 100 gnomes of all sizes donated by
children, the public and our members, it started as a little joke to home a few
unwanted gnomes but as the collection grew the kids and families really loved
it so we actively encouraged its growth, sadly, it will take us a while to
build the village up again, but we will." words fail me as way to describe the low life that takes pleasure out of ruining other peoples fun and happiness, Echills Wood Railway is a 7 1/4" inch gauge railway running
steam, diesel and electric locomotives, it is run solely by a dedicated staff
of volunteers and is open from 11am to 4pm every Sunday throughout the year
including Wednesdays and Fridays during school holidays, it also hosts a number
of special event weekends, details of which can be found at www.ewr.org.uk anyone with any information on this crime is urged to call
Warwickshire Police.
