In 1952 a Ringing Brothers train derailed in the Lynchburg area. 35 gorillas escaped and none were recaptured.

Here is the link-it's about a 1/4 ways down on the page.

So having escaped circus animals on your layout can be prototypical.

They were probably taken in by PETA, discovered government programs and educational grants and successfully entered politics! Now they are making national policy!  FYI In the 1960s, Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago had a famous gorilla named Sinbad. He escaped twice and was recaptured. Once in a rowboat in Lake Michigan and the other time sitting on a park bench reading a newspaper!  He should have run for mayor!!!!!  Happy Easter to all!!!
