Cats and trains do... or don't mix, you decide.

Spotted this article in one of my phone 'feeds', just a feel good tale really.

Love the cats, even the one with one demonic red eye in one of the pics
Layout looks pretty good too.

Brilliant stuff - thank you so much for posting it here.  As you say, a really good tail!

Thanks again and best wishes.

It looks like they come with the added advantage that there'll always be new modelling bits to do on the layouts as the cats squash and break bits. So he won't get bored of them being 'finished'.

Great story, looks likes some nice layouts, enhanced by the cats

Can't help thinking that his model is missing something - ah yes, the Post Office Tower and St. Paul's Cathedral

It's an inspiration to all those modellers who seek purrfection.

Wonderful

There is a photo on RMWeb of someone's brand new Hornby APT-P which fell to the floor after a dog strike.

Ours unfortunately likes to pounce small fast moving things.

Any cat owner will tell you that trying to remove moulted cat hair from clothes etc is nigh on impossible. What it would do to small motors I dread to think. Luckily my cat showed no real inclination to get onto my layout.

At least we'll never (well, perhaps never )  hear an announcement at a full size station that services have been delayed/cancelled because of "Furballs on the line", as is likely on this layout.

Yes, we have a problem with one of our cats!  Holding up traffic on the Kenley Light Railway a couple of years ago.
