Hminky: That's hilarious! Unfortunately, they don't have Meese in the Sierra Nevada's, or I'd make some to hang on the front of my Yellowstones. Thanks for uploading the article, though--it made my day!!

Thanks! That's going to be a big help in finishing the front of the N Scale Cliimax for the Muddy Creek RR, The Route of the Spruce Moose.

And here I'm thinking this has something to do with the ice breakers CP applied to the F units on the Canadian to protect the dome cars. (see the Spring Classic Trains). But no, it's actual MOOSE ANTLERS. LOL! [:D]

Closest we get to moose are large sheep, they'll still put a serious crimp in a normal car though! I saw a review recently of some Highland Cattle in OO scale - the magazine editor had done the castings for the horns which looked absolutely tiny. I've also seen fine wire and tiny amounts of modelling clay used to produce deer antlers. The next challenge must surely be modelling the rest of the moose?
