Jim, LOL Thanks, as all good suggestions.
I thought the President would come and visit my town, the D&K RR town, as usually with most natural disasters, the President always comes to consul people and assure that there will be money for the rebuilding and replacement of things. But I guess he does not have to come by since I righted the cow back up and the cow is fine now, stuck in time.

I'm impressed. I think you should look into the current technology used to earthquake-proof buildings. The footings are set on rollers that allow the earth to move under them without shaking the building so badly. Maybe you should drill out your cow footings (hooves) and put little ball bearings in them. Youn might have to enlarge the hooves to achieve a more workable mass...buy hey, you're already in hi-rail, aren't you?

But something did happen, a cow fell over and has to be noted. The first time something from the layout got into the papers and on the web, as when my painted Frosty Bar from the 1950s made it to the comic Zippy last year. http://zippythepinhead.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ZTP&Product_Code=4-Nov-09&Category_Code And the layout isn't even done yet.
