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...

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

I have the MTH B&O caboose that the brakeman comes out and waves a lantern.

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.
