What's your most unusual scene

I've seen many unusual scenes modeled. I was thinking about modeling the inside of a tunnel (a cutaway view). Another idea was a "wet" scene where it recently rained (lots of puddles, etc).
Have you modeled any "never-seen-that"s?

On my old (now destroyed) layout I had an invisible station! I'd planned to put the platforms in, had laid the track to go round them, then couldn't be bothered to build the station! So finally decided to have an invisible station instead.

This topic reminded me of a Sausage factory on the Salt Creek model railroad layout in Elmhusrt, IL. The sign over the factory read "Our Wurst is our Best". That image has stuck with me a long time. I think they've rebuilt the layout and the sausage factory is history.

Just a few ideas im planing for my N Scal rr ....
HGH Farms.....an N scale farm with HO scale pigs and cows (HGH stands for Human Growth Hormone)
Man with rifle in the church tower
"subway" station where my tunnel acess hole is on front of layout
- also thinking of adding passengers waiting on the subway platform...having the platforn "flip" when a train stops at the station...so when the train pulls out, an empty platform is now visible...
In one of the Magazines someone modeled a steamroller with a pair of legs sticking out, a pool of blood ! and a broken bicycle near by !

Recently I was at a show whith several beautiful US-prototype layouts. One of them, the Sodumb and Gamorra already had won a couple of prices, so another railroad situated in the 70's had a couple of hippies protesting against the monopoly of th sodumb an gamorra.
There was also another protest going on there:

A friend brought in a page from WIRED magazine which showed a flooded area, with a diesel stuck in the floodwaters with a crew trying to figure out how to extract it. Impressive image.
