Question : HSRP practice (on 2500 series routers)

I want to run HSRP on some 2500 series routers.  At work, we use L3 switching.  Eventually I want to add a second 3560e in our environment for redundancy purposes.
I want to get some practice with the HSRP protocol first though.

I have about four Cisco 2503 routers at my house. Is it possible to do HSRP on this? If yes, will it be the same or similar as it would be on the 3560e?

Thanks

However, you can use GNS3 (Gui for Dynamips), use Cisco 3745s with the 16 port switching module and you can do all kinds of interesting stuff with layer 2 and layer 3 including HSRP, GLBP, etc, etc.
