If you fancy building a model railway layout without a station, this might be worth a look.
Looking along the canal in Wolverhampton, we see it pass under two different railway bridges. I imagine the layout would be mostly fiddle yard with a relatively small viewing window in the front. Trains would thrash over the bridges to entertain those looking on.
OK, that's probably a mad idea, but the view is interesting.
You can see an aerial view on Google maps here.

You could make it in perspective with a narrow viewing frame. Build the front bridge in OO scale and the rear in 3mm or even N.
The canal and boats could be in perspective as well.
I'm beginning to wonder if the next BRM project layout might include a number of canal features - locks - bridges - stuff like that.
Whilst I think of it, I seem to recall reading about the Monmore Green covered rail / canal interchange basin.
I don't know how far this would be from the scene in your photo - however, a number of people have considered including something similar on layouts.
