(...) Why, what better place than the place I saw evidence of TLC employees mutilating brick? On the tour of the model shop, we were shown models under repair that had mutilated bricks (some not even really necessary, like cutting a brick or plate (...)

(...) Speaking as a former employee who knows people that work(ed) in the Model Shop in Enfield, the 'mutilations' are probably to repair a damaged model, or to undo some incorrect building.
