Attack of the killer bunny

Not sure anyone will know the answer but I have a giant problem.

I have a new rabbit my two old girls are dwarfs and ignore the railway quite well but the new bunny is different Shes a french lop which grow to weigh up to 14 Lb.Now she is 4 months and already 3 times larger than her hutchmates now she old enough to live outside with the others she has free range of the garden.

I have been running battery locos to get her used to trains passing but instead of avoiding them she will happily sit across the rails while a loco comes toward her and will not flinch if it does hit her then she will demolish the train if it stops near her.

So How do I train her to avoid locos as I dare not run a mamod for fear of her getting burnt and also Don't want to confine her when the others are free.?

Im having the same problem with my new pup, I sit out with a water filler bottle when i run trains and if he goes near it I give him a squirt in the face.

there are some evil and twisted minds out there

I'm thinking a water pistol may be the answer.

Have to admit, I did have an 'awww!' moment.

Then I saw just how many Mamod locos the line has and looked them up instead

I do like my mamods. I did a run with Stow and a 4 carriage train but didn't video it as I thought it was time the bunnys had their five minutes of fame.

A veritable Mamod museum, SCC.

Wonder if someday you'll have all 6 SL locos?

The variations were only cosmetic so no probably not once my track is clear they do quite well round it.

Ahwell, it's wishful thinking re SL1-6.

Still, Mamods whe looked after do run very well indeed

I have this strange idea that engines should be run and not just polished.
