Do you have funny scenes on Your railroad?

and his evil twin which is being kept at bay with the help of a snow groomer.

There are rumors that Bigfoot lives in the forest….

but that might just be another movie.

I like to pepper my layout with small scenes, to capture the attention of visitors and draw them in.  Whether funny, whimsical or just everyday scenes, I see everyone spending a lot of time checking out the details.  It's very satisfying to see the smiles.

The pot still in the shed next to the 'three couples and a dog' coal mine is more pathetic than funny.

All of the hidden meanings in signage require a knowledge of written Japanese.

At one time all of my stations were named after showgirls from the Nichigeki Music Hall in Tokyo.  These days they're named after Imperial Navy admirals - with the same surnames .

My newly Created Bear Shaking the out house scene

was a big hit with the visitors this weekend

 

 

Here's the video

YES! What an awesome idea!   I'd love to be a juror on on one of their trials!

Though it's not as whimsical as, say, a dinosaur in the woods, I do have one funny scene. There's a cow pasture where one corner of the fence has toppled, and cows are wandering out through the gap. The next scene over, a cow is chowing down in a cornfield. Farther down, a couple more cows drink from a pond. There are loose cows as far as two towns away. I came up with the idea when I decided to move the pasture, but I had already poured the pond, so the two cows with their feet in the water had to stay behind. So I needed a reason for them to be there.

Here is a whimsical scene. .... Note the name of the truck company on the side of the trailer. Also, note the name of the towing company on the large blue tow truck.

 That's great Steve, thinking of adding a water rescue scene. Unless you're operating, people (especially kids) like to se the trains run and find these little scenes.

Portable toilets have the name of the company on them.  I've got a bunch of them labeled "Lawyer's Can Service".  I've also got a portable toilet servicing truck lettered "Lawyer's Can Service - Call a Lawyer to Clean Your Can".

I've also got two companies, Canine American and Feline American.  The latter's motto: "Cat tested.  Cat approved."

Nope.

On my now-departed layout I had a rather thick tree with a couple small windows and a door in it. One window was open and I had an Elf there talking to another Elf on the ground. A small sign over the door said KEEBLER. It will be a part of my new layout.

Living in the country I can truly appreciate Steve's cows! I see that almost every day. Good fences are NOT a priority here.

There was a request in the "Show Me Something" thread asking for a girl covered steam engine...

Well, I had to oblige—

Actually, PRR DID do a photo-shoot with a lady gracing the front of a J1.
