Yard (round house, linear/turn-table): There is some disagreement on this
one but I think of a yard as mainly a static display.

Minor nit:  Just because you don't have trains moving doesn't mean it has to
be a 'static' display.  Other animations are crowd-pleasers, too!  In our
previous layout, people would comment on how the windmill on the farm scene
was turning.  I didn't have the heart to tell them it took me about five
minutes to design and build!

Don't forget lights, too.  A flashing 9volt light and some fiber-optic cable
can make a nice welding torch, or campfire, or ???

I really liked (I think?) Calum's lighthouse at rtlToronto Train1, with it's
rotating light http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=49835.
