It's all good but the best bit is the guy who has managed to make a duck that swims around a pond. That's quality modelling.

Kevin @Phoenix of this parish has had skaters going round on a frozen pond so maybe the mechanics are the same

I presume it works on the principle 'something moves along under the base' with the duck, skaters etc attracted by magnetism or some other guidance  - actually a technology that has been around for many years, but not necessarily in as small a scale as N

The swan on a pond is on a 1/43 scale layout, rather than N. There is a powered moving belt below the "water" with magnetism working its magic to link the swan to the subaquatic belt.

Yeah, Kevin's Christmas layout was 009, so the skaters were OO scale.

The RM has always been supportive of N. The October edition is especially so.
