It wouldn't have to be John Deere, but I would definitely like to see farming
and farm vehicles.  A modern tractor with a choice of flat or tipping trailers,
plough, maybe a working hay baler that drops printed 2x4 tan bricks as it goes
along.  Maybe an option of a removable front digger or hay lifter.

Being European, the utility vehicle would either be a Land Rover or a Unimog,
not a pick-up truck.

But a farm theme would require animals, and both these and the utility vehicles
could cross over into a zoo or circus theme (though circuses with animals are
all but gone now).
