![]() ![]() Rivi didn't survive my move across town.ĭecided to rebuild *again* so I had room for a tow yard, Lego crusher where tow trucks are and overgrown area at far left, and a Lego scrap weigh station by the tow office. Will update as I get the Lego work done and get JL PiPs and Jada For $ales (coming from the FB group for diecast I am admin on) for the lean-to along with better junker cars. ![]() What's a great junkyard without a food truck or two? Sign with obvious Christine and Tommy Tutone references, heavily vandalized by high-school kids and alumni of a high school graduation that got ugly fast, road name is inspired by the old CARtoons comic books, and in creative writing in school, Krass Road started out as a four-lane city street, passed an obvious Dixie Square Mall ripoff, then went through blighted urban area, then a fork in the road with one way going into town and Krass Road going northeast as a 2 lane road, and eventually went off into no-man's land.Įstes Great Garage incorporated into shed. Note yard owners' nice house alongside, Christine lives in the garage to leave the owners' '54 Dodge Royal out in the weather: ![]() Gonna get more interesting cars to fit my theme of "parts & service for old, outdated or hard-to-find cars" as well as projects for sale.Īerial view. Tow trucks, late Yat Ming 1000-series Chevy "errand truck", forklift, junkyard Just gotta add the crusher, scale & guard shack and find a better place for the tow trucks. Especially landscaping that I can lose a few cars in trees & shrubbery, have big rocks, etc. Junker VW Rabbit brought in on a rollback (still don't know marque? Gonna guess Bering but not sure?), beat-up Chevy G20 errand/delivery van also visible (Darnell's has exclusive contracts for rebuilt parts & engines and other parts for out of date/hard-to-find cars for a number of shops in town) Too small and to be upgraded with a scrap scale added too Many cars to be pruned out and forklift to be upgraded to Tomy or Ertl late-model Toyota Listing trailer to be corrected when buildings arrive. Owners' humble abode at the edge, lots of cars as "yard art" (Dauphine and Cutlass are only ones roadworthy, Reliant Regal has seized engine, 4CV hasn't run in almost 40 years, Volksrod was declared a "dangerous vehicle" by police). HO-scale guard shack, most cars and Goodyear trailer are going bye-bye Threatening sign due to high school kids incessantly tagging the sign and fence, tinfoil-hatter graffiti & handbills, and parts & metal theft, postman arrives: Once buildings come, car placement and decision on what to "specialize in" and what to put in the tow yard & scrappage area will be done Lastly, gonna upgrade to an Ertl Collect & Play Toyota forklift over the junker HW Caterpillar forklift in these pics. Should be here the 17th of October.Īlso gonna build a small guardshack and scrap scale to be built onto the shed, and possibly a "sanctuary" like I've seen in high-desert junkyard pics that would have a cooler, furniture, a radio & whatnot, Goodyear trailer is going away, and I'm replacing the bulky Bachmann house trailer with a Road Champs Winnebago or (ideally, and once it comes out) a Greenlight Breaking Bad RV, and am gonna get a Greenlight modern truck with flatbed trailer soon too. Gonna PM Gunn with instructions on how to build a crusher (I know someone who can build me one for free given directions for it, but it'll be a John Deere-powered crusher instead of Caterpillar like Swifty's)ĭedicated one of a couple of coffee tables here to my new junkyard dio.įor one, got this building set (shed will be placed sideways along wall, lean-to next to it to hold "rebuildable salvage" (JL PiPs, Greenlight rusty Impala, possible "unclaimed tow-ins" and Jada 4Sales), and that area used as combination garage, tow yard & scrapyard. ![]()
