I saw her batting a Fortescue across the kitchen linoleum. She'll be fine.

I'm afraid so, old chum.

So can you tell the real Fortescue from the clones or will Norma let you know by leaving the real one alone?
The Fourth Fortescue!

Love the Tom Baker scarf (even if it’s not multi-colored)!!! You may need some “exterminators” if the Fortesques continue to replicate

I thought they only made license plates in jail 
The question about Fortescues is...."Can the Giraffe's eat them?"

Well, Fortescues keep vanishing, so draw your own conclusions.

Mitch,
Where can I find some of these Fortescues? I'd like to get some on the layout and move them around like pink lawn flamingos.
Best,
Bryce

Maybe its time to start a thread and see how many people would be willing to put in orders with Sunset/3rd Rail/Golden Gate Depot for Fortescues?
A search on Walleyworld for "12pcs Miniature Deer Ornaments Woodland Deer DIY Micro Landscape Figurines" (yeah, I know, go figure ) will get you started... ;-)

Am I the only one with zero idea of what a Fortescue is?
@hokie71 posted:Am I the only one with zero idea of what a Fortescue is?
Maybe. Started a few years back when I first spotted the little guys on eBay. I dubbed one "Fortescue J. Gi-raffe" and the rest, as it were, is history...
Mitch
Actually, I thought they had something to do with Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.
To quote Babs and Buster Bunny, "No relation."

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty:
Hokie 71 you are hereby awarded the O Gauge Forum Medal of Honor for your bravery in admitting in front of the entire Forum membership that you did not know what a “Fortescue” was. 18 postings into a thread about Fortescues, in which every posting casually referred to “Fortescues” as if they were a common place O Gauge railroading phenomenon, only YOU among the O Gauge Forum membership had the temerity to publicly admit that you had no idea what one was and ask for an explanation. Your thirst for knowledge and courageousness under potential threat of peer ridicule is an inspiration to us all. Thanks to your valor all the readers of this thread are now wiser in this aspect of Gi-raffes and their applications in O Gauge model railroading.
@Norman R and @M. Mitchell Marmel
I am truly honored with the kudos and recognition, truly ignorance has its rewards! I will be sure my obituary mentions this amazing highlight.
I must also confess my bravery may be overstated. I was empowered to ask about Fortescues since Google and AI also had no idea either....Mitch stumped the search engines.
