What kind of critters do you have on your layout?

Classic Toy Trains Forum

Now that I’m living in the “sticks” I get to see all kinds of critters and varmints out my way: deer, turkeys, silver and red fox, coyote all kinds of birds, opossums, racoons, squirrels and of course, dogs and cats.

I think I will add some of the above to my layout. It’s fun to hide them in a clump of trees or an out of the way area so that guests, especially children can hide them. I hope to find (or make) a couple of dachshunds to represent Misty & Rocky, the wonder weiner dogs, and give them a prominent place near a fire hydrant (or food!) [:D]

No critters yet. Since I’m going to be doing NS, think the part going through Ohio will have two critters. Buckeye and Tom. [;)] I know Tom has some scattered all over his layout. I’m sure Jimbo does too.

Chief is right, we have a few on our layout.

Just an occasional cat! [:)]

Non living aniamals…deer, horses, cows, fish in a pond, dogs, and cats.

The usual cattle, horses, and dogs with a few elk on the mountain. Luckily the only scorpions I find are dead and on the floor. Though there are a lot of mouse droppings in the garage area of the barn I haven’t found any sign of mice in the train room.

Tom, thanks for sharing the pictures.

Actually, I was speaking of intentional, but any kind will do!

I like the BB and Assoc. scene. That there is a big cottontail. [;)]

I want to add a dauschund too - for Rudy the wonder weiner dog. And a possum. Right now I have a one-antlered moose - and an assortment of Britains and ancient Lionel farm animals - plus a collie in his doghouse.

Just a Arttista dog peeing on a hydrant. I’m not a “pet person”. Joe

I have some farm animals I will set out when I build my farm scene. One time, I trapped my neighbor’s (real) cat in my layout room . When I got in from work that night, she heard me and started meowing really loud so I would let her out. Her paw prints are on my control panel to this day.
