Creating a cattle body for my Thornycroft-PB-lorry I liked to have a cow walking in/out. There are a lot of cows available on the marked from different model railroad makers, but surprisingly all of them assume a flat surface, what would look quite strange on a ramp in a cattle yard.

So I decided to fill up this gab with a number of my own cows. The ramp is 20deg. In addition to three cows for a flat surfaces plus one turning around, you may find one cow each for entering the ramp up/down, walking on the ramp up/down and leaving the ramp up/down. At least the cows entering/leaving the ramp will work also with different ramp angles, but I think ramps with significant more inclination are not really realistic.

The loading chute is a lasercut model from CGLaser:
https://www.gclaser.com/n-scale-stock-loading-ramp/
it has also a 20deg slope and is available for n-, S-, H0- and O-gauge.

All models sized for British n-scale (1:148). The models will be fine in other scales… conversion values:
Continental N-scale, 1:160 -> 92.5%
TT-gauge, 1:120 -> 123%
HO/H0-gauge, 1:87 -> 170%
OO/00-gauge, 1:76 -> 195%
S-gauge, 1:64 -> 231%
O-gauge, 1:48 -> 308%
