The Best solution, Lionel O-Gauge if Your Locomotives out weigh your cat(s) you don't have many problems. Missy, (short for Mischief) will get into ANYTHING, but fortunately many of my locomotives weigh more than this eight pound, four legged mobile natural disaster zone, that I Love so much. It is amazing how carefully she can walk past some of my displayed locomotives to get to one of her favorite windowsills.

May your flanges always stay BETWEEN the rails
My suggestion on page two of this thread will solve your problem in a most humane way.

That looks like a good product for general use in a "cat" house, we have three, one being a socialized feral. They don't get to the railroad, but there are a couple of places I could use it. Thanks for the link.

How you know if you have a Problem Cat:
Whatever you do keep this joker away from your layout...
Have fun with your trains
That's the whole bunch, for now. (Their initials spell C.A.T.N.I.P.)

I know it sounds like a broken record by now but really the best solution I've ever seen for keeping cats away from the trains is keep the trains in a room with a door or something so they can't go in. Although other things I've seen that discourage cats are
A. rattling a tin can with pennys in it
B. a squit gun
c. an overly affectionate dog.
What I would like to know if they are DCC ready or DCC equipped?

Actually, two of them, Tulip and Pepper, are prototype (I found them in a locomotive shop at work).
I stay out of their litter boxes, they stay out of the train room.

We have two now grown cats. Both were kittens when we got them. Cats are intelligent and with concentrated training(no pun intended)can be made to stay off areas that are off limits.
Our two cats were introduced to the layout the same at to hte kitchen counter and dinner table. Go there and pay the dues. Usually it was a bopping with a rolled up paper or a flyswatter. After a short time both have shown no interest in places they don't belong

No doubt!!Anybody try laying some tin foil down? I've heard that works.Hmmm...3 pages and no "Shake & Bake for Kittens" comments yet. Probably the most civil cat thread I've seen in years!

I'll second their being intelligent. Last summer, I was coming down the stairs towards my living room. On the wall, I could see Chessie's shadow as he jumped off the top of my bookshelves, where he knows he's not allowed to be since he often pushes things out of his way to stretch out. In addition to seeing his shadow as he jumped down, I heard his feet hit the floor. I got down to the bottom of the stairs, and he was stretched out on the floor acting like he was just waking up.

Lots of goofy kitties.
When I first started my layout, many years ago, it was at my grandmother's farm. The entire layout was in the loft of one of the out-buildings. Usually, the kitty (a large, Maine Coon) slept downstairs, and I kept the upstairs door locked. He'd come up to see what I was working on, but usually slept on the chair. That didn't last--he was soon stealing small objects (an HO scale Jaguar E-Type was his favorite) from the train room. That went on for a bit, until he got tired of getting chased. 2006, I moved and brought the kitty and trains home with me. Once home, he left the trains alone...and slept in his basket.
By 2007, he'd died :( and I had another cat. She pretty much ignored the trains. She'd watch the N scale go in circles on the kitchen table, but left things alone for the most part. Well, she'd occasionally get up onto the layout...simply so she could have the ceiling-mounted A/C duct blow on her.
Now I have two cats, and they don't seem interested in the trains. They don't get on the table, they don't chase the equipment.
Cats within 5,000 feet of a model train layout??? where are you people from?? I have enough trouble keeping my 3 water buffalo from demolishing the layout while they cavort around the train room, I can't imagine anyone letting a cat anywhere near a train room. (Hey Marj.! I just opened the door to the train room, let the cats loose ! )
