It seems that CRT have had some items stolen from the Museum which is why they now have closed the island warehouse.
From FB The items stolen include a model boat along with several small model engines and three large ‘Tilly’ lamps.

Its happened before. A Bollinder engine was stripped of parts from the governor some time back. No one saw anything then either.

At least they probably got used and not scrapped when they want to change the exhibits for interactive computer screens

Big tilley lamps - lovely things. I expect they will turn up on eBay in due course.
