Not sure I associate the old HO/OO and O toy trains at all with the live steam scales. One is a mass produced toy, the other is model engineering that might take hundreds or thousands of hours to make ("who’d built his locomotive over 25 years"). The difference between an art print and an original and as strange to see as discussion of prints in a story an art theft.
FWIW the aesthetics of the railway modellers shop site is exactly as I expect from the model engineering, collectors, watch making and similar hobby supply sites. Few are going to make a fortune or scale much beyond enthusiast in a shed. So forget Bootstrap and Shopify, expect lots of non-optimised huge images. :)
Not at all surprise to find the police weren't any use. They're far too starved of budget lately to give theft anything much more than a crime number for the insurance claim.
