This just caught my attention while linking to Ebay from another thread- "what others are watching"

So now you know what to get buy SWMBO/Daughter/Grandaughter if she is into horses and you want to involve her in your hobby........... or will it get the same reaction as the gift electric drill at Christmas?

Any further ideas on cross-hobby rolling stock and railway features?

BTW, joking aside I love the idea and it looks very well executed. I think this builder is a shoe in for MOTY at next year's 16mm show. Who are they ?

Yes Max this does open all sorts of possibilities for rail interest crossed with pets etc
For younger members of the family...

I thinks animals add a dash of realism....

This cat worked on me for 20 years. But did the RGS really have to put up with mountain lions of this size ?

I need a winged pig, as on my coat of arms... One day my line will run smoothly, and pigs might...

Hi Ian, unfortunately the hamster one is not my layout but a piccie from a rather nice layout that I took from the tinterweb.

Here is something from my layout that includes an animal reference
A rather doggy-eared dog on a climax
