How "nice" is good enough? Have you tried the five and dime? Seriously. -- I found mine as bagged farm and zoo animals in the toy aisle at the local KMart. Some of the foreground aminals I repainted, most I just used as-is<br> <br> Okay, I had to throw away (well, give away) about half of them because they were the wrong scale, but at $3 a bag I ended up with enough cows, horses, sheep and pigs (and a bear) to suit me for a LOT less than Preiser. My 6YO (then 4) was more than happy to have the 6 (scale) foot tall roosters and the rest of the cast offs. <br> <br> If you are a bit fussier or just want something spendier, Breyer's "Paddock Pals" horses are 1:24, and I think there are cows and other stuff available the same size from them<br> <br> Don't forget you can always use smaller than scale items in the background to force perspective...just make sure the things that are side by side are too disparate<br> <br> BTW I'm sure you already noticed the regular "big hauler" stuff is 1:22.5<br>
