Terrorism in HO scale: Owners of a miniature model train villiage are forced to close the attraction due to insurance problems over terrorism. The insurance companies are claiming that visitors to the miniature train set are likely terrorist targets.
"We got feedback from Royal and Sun Alliance that, since September 11, tourist venues like the model village pose a high risk and as a result they were refusing our cover," he said. "We were told the site was uninsurable because of the high risk factor."
