From the Henley layout, a statue of Sir Chops, the venerable founder of Chops's Nessie Tours by Rail for the Adventorous. Relates to the British layout.

Cool set-up Walt. What triggers the lights to flash while the train is passing?
Chops, I like the statue.
Here's the fountain in front of City Hall on my layout.

Nice Fountain and others,guys!
DaCheez I bought a set up that operates on infrared light that beams across all of the tracks including the side tracks. When the light beam gets broken, it turns on the light and blinks for 5 or 6 seconds after the train passes by. I actually had to buy two sets as I carelessly burned up the circuit board when hooking the first set up. The photo shows the infrared activators at the crossing site.

Kinda late in the week but my AOTW offering is....
The Tyco Operating Pipe Loader accessory!!! I think this is the last operating accessory from Tyco that I needed to complete my collection, thanks to a recent trade deal with Aaron. Can't wait to set this up on RETRO TYCO.

I never got to operate it myself, so I hope to see a video of it in action in the future. I do know it works perfectly though
