Model railroader got an unexpected surprise when his tunnel was suddenly blocked.
No it was not a derailed coach.

I will have to burn down the house...

Luckily a friend of mine's husband catches snakes in the city and would be able to help me.

I also remember an incident where a mouse moved model cars into a tunnel and caused a hidden derailment inside said tunnel.

Years ago, I was still at school, I had a layout.
One day the family cat was missing. We searched every were.
Eventually I decided I've looked enough and went to my layout.
Let a loco run full speed into the tunnel.
There was a thud and a snarling cat shot out of the tunnel.
That cat never ventured near the layout again.  ;D
