Here's something completely different clopping along a modeled city street if you forward to 4:30 in this video. I never expected to see an animated horse on a Superstreets type of urban scene. A real attention grabber if I ever saw one. Our resident forum wizards might take this as a challenge to replicate it or better yet have Bachman do it for them ( which I doubt) ..Maybe a horse drawn delivery wagon or a horse drawn omnibus...

Very cool thank you for posting. Bet LEE can make one of those to add to his super streets? How bout it LEE?

Lee immediately came to mind when I saw this...
Lee could definitely slow it down and make it look more realistic. That's an awful big wagon full of people for one poor horse to pull.
Lee, for sure, but a little early for his era, I'd think. Definitely good modeling AND
engineering, to get those horse legs to work, and realistically. Although there have
been wind-up tin toys that can do that, for years, if you got your hands on one to
study.
electroliner,
Thank you for posting this neat video.
The horse drawn trams are very interesting in the way the horses' legs move.

Cool video, I like the second horse drawn vehicle with the 2 horses, although the first one horses were so well done, I just didn't like the wagon loaded up. I believe this is HO scale so doing it in O scale maybe could be easier, what do you think?
Where is Lee Willis!! Great video .....

Very cool, thanks for sharing, now if you could just get those horse hoofs closer to the street and add the clip-clop noise in the wagon...
Kinda cool....but the HO scale bicycle rider is still my favorite animation.

Is there a video of that? Id love to see it. I have a clockwork version..one of my favorite non train tinplate pieces. While searching for the bicyclist.. I came across this brakeman animation..way cool.
I love it. I would love to build something like that. I need to rearch how they do it. I failed about a year ago to make an animated dog that would walk around in a circle downtown. Just too small for me to get it to work with homemade mechanism. Maybe I can learn something studying this horse. An HO horse is not much larger than my O scale dog would have been, so that proves it can be done. I gotta try harder

Have you seen this? Might be of some use.

I thought so to until I saw this pic of loggers in 1890.
Note to Lee. Think BIG. How about doing the Budweiser wagon? That would be big.
The video was posted here....but it was in a train show coverage and I can't find it now......maybe someone else will.....
