Fantastic farm scene, Ted. That farm looks real.
Where did you get those realistic barns and 1:43rd scale farm animals?

Farm Animals.....
I don't know where Ted obtained his farm animals, but I think I saw some of these at Tractor Supply Co. Can't remember if they are exactly 1/43rd, but they may have been in various scales.

Thanks all and a few comments on barn and animals
I have a Lionel O gauge (1:48 scale, or close enough to 1:43 purposes of my attempts at photography with my 1:43 models) train layout. As a few others have noted, I do believe that the cattle and horses in these photos are Preiser - I need to double-check that but fairly certain. Over the years, several manufacturers have produced barns in O gauge but in my opinion the one introduced a few years ago by Woodland Scenics is by far the most realistic - if you check out their website you'll see all of their buildings that they produce in both O and HO scale. They are not cheap; I've tried to slowly migrate my layout to their buildings over several years. And they have been issuing some outstanding accessories, like the fence that you see in my photos. Many thanks for the "thumbs up" comments and I'd be happy to provide more details.
