Blame it on toenailsridgest:

There once was a fellow named Clyde.
Fell through a two-holer and died.
His unfortunate brother,
Fell down through the other,
And they're both now interred side by side.

Note: interred could be spelled 'in t**d".

I have a friend who installed the ends of small, stiff paint brushes just forward of the front drivers of his locomotives because of ants. The brushes very neatly swept the "little buggers" aside.

I don't have a dog problem but I have found that the ants use the rails as a super-highway.
They are no match for the trains, "Dead ant, Dead ant, Dead ant, Dead ant etc.)
Then there's the snails[xx(][V][censored]
By the way Ian when we grow up do we become old and grumpy.

No-one's forcing you to read it, Ian.
BTW, SandyRR is of the female persuasion.

Kevin, it's not a cheap solution, but...try an 'invisible fence' around the railroad area. It's a buried wire that puts out a radio signal. The dog wears a receiver collar. Too close, and he gets a little zap. I am not a fan of such things, and do not use one with my dog, but I have heard from dog trainers that they do work very well.
So well, in fact, that you can often buy one used! Once the dog is trained, often just having the collar on reminds him of the boundaries.
But do not EVER rely on one to keep a dog out of the road! They WILL take the zap to get out if there's something really exciting out there. And that's when they get run over.

I'd far rather clean that off the front of a locomotive than slug slime. Run over a few of those slime-ridden buggers during an evening operating session, and you'll find new meaning to the term "gumming up the works."

But back to the subject at hand, and a related question...

Does anyone have any ideas for keeping a pooch out of an open section of the yard--particularly one that he favors for his "chores"--that will soon be occupied by landscaping? By the same thought, he frequents that run along the fence while chasing his arch nemisis, "Mr. Squirell." Plans call for installing a rock border about 6 - 10" high, but that may or may not be enough to keep him from invading the new landscape.

Can you imagine the look of horror on the face of the engineer when he rounded that corner in his 1:29 cab & was faced with a 12 inch to the foot dog-drop???
Perhaps he was just going through the motions?
And if the loco died would it be deeply interred?

[bman36]

Now that's funny! Looks like you need a real "cow catcher" er...manure mover??? Gee Santa Fe really does go the extra! Later eh...Brian.

As you can see , the pilot on this F-3 does work. That brown stuff on the front of this locomotive is not manmade but REAL weathering ! I had to put it under the hose to clean it . I didn't notice it in the picture until it was posted on the website. [img=right]http://planetdonnstudios.com/mike/web/pizzurro/images/MIKE-TRAIN-009.jpg[/img=right]
