One of our cats (Toby) is very friendly, has a huge 6 cylinder 'diesel engine' and enjoys the trains. Toby will sit at the top of the stairs in the kitchen, going downstairs (there is no door) and mews for me. He then proceeds downstairs, jumps on the train table and awaits start up. I run PS2 locomotives, and PS1 Budd cars on a Point-to-Point line with stations at both ends.
Toby will sit, listen and watch the Budd cars run, stop at a station, then Toby goes over to the other station and waits for the train. Sounding the bell or horn does not frighten him. If I stop the cars midway on the line, and activate the Passenger Station Sounds, Toby looks all around for the person speaking. It is funny to watch.
On the main lines, Toby sits by the engine house and watches the trains run. He does not interfere with them or swat them. The only disturbing thing is he likes to bat the wires underneath the table. I can remedy that when I get a chance.
Will add pictures when I have time.
