Today to my surprise I go to the basement to find over a dozen train cars on the floor. I must add that today was the first time any of our cats went to the basement. I faired OK though. A few undamaged cars was my Tyco 50' Shock Control, Green Great Northern Pulpwood, Pledge and Flat Car with Stake Trailers, Hershey Box Car, Western Union Reel Car, and the High Cube Box Car. My 3 Dome SOHIO landed softly in that corners garbage can! No damage! 
My Virginian Hopper broke a step which I found and glued back on. Shell 3 Dome busted a 3 wheel truck. Bachmann Smucker box car lost a step that I have yet to locate.
My U.S Steel car had the blue body bust on one side... Pieces missing as they splintered..
Western Maryland Unusual lighter green color 3 tractor flat, lost a step.
So I must watch my kitties closer now. They spend most of the time outdoors...in good weather...

It's hard to cat-proof everything. At least the damage wasn't too extensive.

Right, Shaygetz! Alf is a cat lover, too. With pickles, I think.

Glad you made out ok. Luckily the dog hasn't broken any trains but she had made a mess in the trainroom, mostly knocking over boxes and not letting me work.
If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.

 Yes, I can relate. I have a spare Tyco 3 axle truck, off a Tyco Crane. Would that fit? PM me addy, and I will send right out. No charge, of course.
