Haymotors - Cuddys at work!

[cmason]

So as I mentioned elsewhere earlier in the week when discussing the V2, at last weekends Popoya running session one of the members showed a model haymotor he has built - the Oystermouth tram which comes for the worlds oldest fare paying passenger railway, the Swansea and Mumbles of 1807:
 

He has also made an even smaller model although too snall to motorise - never mind, the other cuddy helped out by giving a push while pulling his own load! (I don't often here the word cuddy used these days although I expect and hope that at least @Bealman and @icairns know, and may even occasionaly use, it):



Anyway got me to thinking it would be nice to see other attempts to model horses at work on the railways - its not that they weren't still in use in the modern era (i.e. after I was born ;-) ) :

Has anyone on the forum attempted to model these wondeful beasts in action? I know John @Train Waiting has a couple in the pastures at Poppingham, however could he be persuaded to put them in harness?

Such larks!

Cheers,

Colin.
