From the Small Layout Design Yahoo group comes this amazing layout.  If you built it, no one would believe that it was straight from the prototype.

Have a look at this for inspiration – 3 piers, a passenger station and some local industry connected to the rest of the network by a conveniently placed tunnel.

Even just the middle pier would be an interesting small layout on its own.
