I am building the Trainworx stock pen/corral kit and need some detail pieces to finish it off. Does anyone know where I might find an O scale cow skull? Any suggestions as to what to use for appropriate size rope? I thought about using brown sewing thread but it's too shiny. And while I'm at it I need to increase my herd; does anyone sale cows in large price effective quantities? Six cows for $12 to $16 plus shipping seems a bit much to me. Does anyone have any O scale cows they want to sell?

Keith Wiseman sells cast skulls:

For rope, the sailing ship modelers have that figured out. Google "ship model rope" for some ideas.
I can't help with inexpensive scale cattle.
Thanks for the link Bob; cow skulls have been ordered. Next I'll check out the ship building sites.

There's usually a ship modelers aisle at the LHS - good source for lots of stuff that model RR'ers seem to not be aware of....
Cows - maybe you could get one of the starter sets for resin casting, make a few molds, and cast what you need for your own use?
Cows? You want cows. Bachman, Model Power, and Woodland scenic all make cows!
For a sampling of what available, go to Klein (www.modeltrainstuff.com), select O guage, then the figures subcategory in it. On the first page (I'm looking at it now) there are at least five sets of cows in various colors and patterns. I have some of the B&W ones. I think the Woodland Scenics ones are a bit more detailed than Bachman, but really - a cow is a cow.

That is very cool, but sort of disgusting in places, too!

I want to know what kind of person has the time to create these . His (I assume) other videos are just as strange. Then again, I guess he would say the same about our train addiction!
