The controversial, British Festival of Railway Modeling, held this year in Doncaster, has reportedly passed off without any reports of violent incidents.
A Yorkshire Police spokesman told The Whelk: “Due to a large police presence and tightened security we can announce that the festival was largely trouble free, with just 3 arrests being made; 2 for drunk and disorderly and 1 for indecent exposure.”
Model train enthusiasts across the country will be breathing a sigh of relief at the news, following last year’s disorder at the event when 5 people were killed and 23 people were taken to hospital after fierce fighting broke out between rival thugs from the Great Western Railway Clockwork Crew and the notorious East London model train enthusiasts, The Hornby Mob.

Our railway model buffs are a peaceful lot but they don’t take grief. Last year, the Southern Minnesota Quilters League tried to encroach on their happy hour. Let’s just say the Agg. Assault column jumped a bit on our annual Uniform Crime Report.

We live in extremely volatile times my friend.
Fortunately, we have level-headed people like Kim Jong-un and Steve Bannon to restore the world to it’s correct axis.

I’m with you on that one Tom. Slavering hellhounds the lot of ’em. I blame Johnny Carson and the Libyans…and I’m not talking about the song and dance troupe here!

Most of our fundamentalist Christian gangs enjoy holding fundraisers where they show The Flintstones movie as a documentary.
