I love the farm scene Christopher.

I am surprised all those farm animals did not jump off the silver (or is it gray) cliff when a steam engine went by.

An O-27 curve in real life?
Cool photo.

Doesn't bother them one bit! Both my daughters were super excited for the farm scene. Lucia is obsessed w/ horses & Giovanna is obsessed w/ cows so they were very happy to see it finished

Cows! I have seen your cow pictures. Has Giovanna experienced cows coming right up to the fence to check her out? Cows must be bigger to Giovanna than Elephants are to us.

I have a Menard's farm scene. One reason I am so interested in yours is it gives me ideas on how to integrate the Menard's into one of my oval layouts. Thank you for showing how you did it with the buildings and animals you have. Yours really looks great!

She would probably get a kick out of the Menards UFO w/ the cow.
We go to rescue farm where Lucia has horseback riding lessons & they have 2 cows there. Giovanna gets to cuddle with them

Super cute Christopher, the girls with calf photos.
