I like to look at other people's model railroads. I have also been a fan of this site
http://www.carendt.com/index.html because it shows what you can do in limited space. There are some real fantastic ideas shared there. I found all of these through that site...
How about a trolley that runs in water?

A trolley that defies gravity?

And what is perhaps the most amazing night scene I have ever seen. Also, very effective modeling of the "wet" look after a rainstorm.

That Japanese guy is a decided fan of M. C. Escher and his "Never Ending Staircase!" Really an amazing job! I wish I could remember even a couple characters of Katakana, but alas, I haven't used any of that stuff since 1979 (We did a Katakana computer input device that year when I was working for NCR in Silicon Valley.)
I'd love to see that work! It's a novelty, to be sure, but my guess is that 10 or 15 minutes of watching that little tram while the gimbal is slowly rotating on both axes would do a lot to help you chill after a bad day, that and a cordial glass of Bushmill's!
