This has almost certainly got to be the same lot that hit my railway at Turvey around 6 weeks ago. The theft there was signalling equipment and they used keys to get in the locs (RKB221) They left a torch on site at ours and the police have lifted useful recognisable prints off of it. Don't hold your breath but you may just be lucky and see some of your stuff again although I somehow think it may be too late for ours.
