Market Deeping model railway rebuilt with Rod Stewart's help
 
A £30,000 model railway display destroyed by vandals has been rebuilt thanks to generous donations from well-wishers, including Sir Rod Stewart.

The Market Deeping Model Railway Club's display was ruined by four teenagers at Welland Academy in Stamford, Lincolnshire, in May.

Donations - including £10,000 from model rail enthusiast Sir Rod - allowed the sets to be repaired.

They are now on display at the Warley Show at the Birmingham NEC.
