Mini Brick RR Loco (BDP Series 8)
I'd rather post in this sub than the BL gallery!

Best I could muster for a real life build based on the render submission entry (plus bonus micro edition again).
Flower part in the render is better, but I don't have it (nor the large single piece 4 x 6 oval base).
BL usually does a mini-scale challenge for each Bricklink Designer Program (BDP) wave.
If you're selected as a winner you receive the set you mini'd.
Series 8 goes on pre-order in less than a month, so it seems late if they are planning on doing a Series 8 challenge?
I was trying to piece together the usual timeline from the Series 7 challenge. The mini-design submission window was only 9 days, but it was before set pre-orders went live.
ETA: So maybe this is a PSA to say be on the look-out for a Series 8 challenge announcement?
Must... go... smaller....
UPDATE: Resubmission because it's a better iteration (Sorry, couldn't help it). Prior version included as the last image.

Not the most clever part usage, but I wanted to attempt a vertically stacked scene.
Uses new 2x4 trans-light blue plates from the millenium falcon smart brick set for the water surface!

A spring cottage scene set in the mountain foothills featuring a cottage, flowering tree, and row boat by the stream.
All parts are wedged in place between the 2 panels. The only the tooth boat is floating loose.
Full disclosure this build was originally made for the BrickSculpt Spring 26 Challenge (similar theme) but it was fun to knock it down to 24 pieces.
Original build posted on Rebrickable with some build photos:
