P&Slocal Ulrich, I saw some pics on Facebook from a toy show in Belgium that reminded me of your modules. Are such small modules common in the old country?

Not really, but it is slowly catching on. A nice way of staying in (or even entering into) the hobby for those short of space.

Some homemade bridge piers, as homemade as you can get

Here are some views of an excursion train chartered by the Bertram Machine Tool Works for an employee outing to the Erie Beach amusement park at Lowbanks.
The mix of cars included several Grand Valley coaches (non-air conditioned) along with this open-air "mountain observation car" from the CNR:
Also on the train, but not part of the excursion, was the combine from the regular mid-morning accommodation, on whose time the excursion was operating:
Here's the motive power, a couple of CNR Ten Wheelers, on the bridge at Chippawa Creek:
At Lowbanks, buses took the revellers to the lakeshore park:
Here's the locos, turned and backing to pick up their train:
Show me an ice-service reefer or boxcar.
EDIT: Guess I took too long hunting for the photos. This excursion was operated over a branch line, and the combine is the regularly-assigned car, but if this isn't a proper example, please show one that is. Otherwise, ice-service reefer or boxcar.
Here's Football Special with heavyweight cars pulled by SD's. Perhaps, it's special of U of Colorado fans on their way to U of Nebraska.
Please show a branch line train.

Great scene. Love them early piggybacks and circus style loading/unloading.
Sorry for the digression, back to the special passenger movement request.
I know this doesn't count because it is not my own layout, but I couldn't resist because I saw this photo in Model Railroading with John Allen at the same time I saw the last request for a special passenger movement!
The previous request still stands.

Chickens are birds, aren't they? And in fact, I figure-bashed HO scale pigeons with a little plastic goop and paint to create the N scale chickens running around on and under the porch.
This is football season and I am not a football fan but I AM a train fan. I have heard of schools and colleges running special trains to carry their players and students to an out-of-town game. Show me a model of a special passenger movement to carry participants in some special event.
Ten wheels, truck + trailer. DJ.

Show me something with 10 wheels.
Tunnel by the power plant, there is a deer on top of it.
There some bears on the cliff but I don't think you will see them if you don't know where to look.
