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.
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

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
