Norfolk Eastern Daily Press 25th September 2008 Anthony Carroll " The dark underbelly of the miniature train world was revealed yesterday as members of a Norfolk railway model club appeared in court over allegations of stealing a model engine ......... ............. they heard tales of backstabbing, deceit, imaginary burglaries and rampant egos.
