As many of you already know, I've been planning on building a Playmobil Garden Railroad for a long while now.
However, since being sent the following photo of a resident bridge bum, I may change my plans completely ...

"Let sleeping cats lie." ... ;D

I see yor problem Richard. Could you have two bridges, and switch between them with points?
-
Beef up the electric current a bit.

GREAT suggestion, Martin ... :wow:

How many volts would you suggest, Timmy? ... >:D

Ah, the delights of a cat - always where it causes maximum inconvenience (the human view), always where the attention is (the cat's view).
Two of the cats I have had would always come and sit on any piece of paper I had spread out on the floor (an easy to fill in exam entry forms was to do it on the floor because of their size), always choosing to sit on the very spot was reading or working on. One of these also liked to sit in doorways, so you had to step round him or fall over him, and my present cat used to sleep in the bedroom doorway.

I miss my cats.
We went through a calamity around 2001 in which my cat and my parents' cat both died from kidney crystals.
My wife appears to be allergic to cats, so I haven't adopted a new cat. I like cats better than dogs (have two dogs). I confess, though, I don't miss how the cat jumped up on tables and knocked things over.
My cat stewart probably would have brought my trestle table in the basement that holds my PM displays to the ground!
"Dude, that's not a table. It's a cantilever."

i would say just use an automotive coil with the 12 volts and collapse the field on the tracks and watch her fly. I am in no way an animal abuser i have 2 dogs, 2 cats , 40 chickens, 3 kids, 1 wife , 1 rattle snake, lots of frogs, a bakers dozen of fish and the list of what i have had is 10 time as long i just like them to behave . :whip:
I do feel your anguish over not being able to have a garden train . I too can not right now, do to how many times we change our gardens . at present we are experimenting with about 150 wine barrels and a train just does not fit in anywhere . :'(
I love looking at all the posted pictures of other garden layouts and just dreaming of the day . I especially liked link to the G scale forum. so many great layouts and ideas . :love:

I have a pug that has occasionally derailed a train or two on my garden layout...he's pretty good about it now. He actually waits at the crossing until it's all clear. Plus, if the trains are going fast enough he gets out of the way in a hurry :-)

I'm sure that none of us would intentionally hurt an animal ... 0)
Yet, there's just something about a critter on the tracks ahead ... or in a tunnel ... >:D

I think the cat is protesting for the high fuel prices ;) ;D
