Mayner Posted Tuesday at 08:56 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:56 19 hours ago, Patrick Davey said: I have just bought 48 seagulls....... Used a selection of Dart Castings rabbits, ducks, swans etc. to keep viewers interested when exhibiting a small end to end layout 20 odd years ago. The different animal species were listed on the layout fascia. Families with small kits used to get more entertainment out of searching for and counting the rabbits and ducks than watching the trains! Rabbits and ducks have gone into hiding but swans have taken up residence for the past 10-12 years in the river on the Irish Narrow gauge layout 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a watching trains go-by N scale model of the GNR Main Line across the Border or Craigmore Viaduct as a next project if Patrick has the space. Kids used to start counting wagons on goods trains as they emerged from a tunnel/from under a bridge when we exhibited a 13' x 2'6" N Gauge club layout about 40 years ago! Alternatively watching/trying to count cars on American freight trains can help you sleep. Spent a week chasing/photographing trains on Donner in 2001 before we were all abruptly brought back to reality by the 9/11 attacks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
