I have a lot of animals on the layout and the grandkids have fun looking for and hiding them.  These are pics of some of the layout pets

Have fun

Man, I love the animals thing, Jim - that's great!  Tom - do you have 4 mainlines there or is that a yard?  Very cool layout(s)!

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Great pictures.  Love the animals and the kid shots really start the day out right.  I found a small lithographed Hornby station recently and added it to my layout.  The engine is a prewar Lionel 262e driving by.

Jim,

 

This area of the HO layout is 3 main lines with a very long passing siding. Here is a pic of the yard.

Phish, I couldn't see any sheep either.

All good layout pictures.

Beautiful work, Tom.

I gotta try to hide more animals around the layout - what a great idea. I think I have too much open space.
