Just showing a few views from around the layout...
Seeing some rare time out and about on the layout is GTW 6416 re-numbered, but still in the original orange paint of the DT&I.
Oops...Looks like that drop step needs some repair. Something to keep the shop forces busy I guess. Once that's repaired, this engine could be a good candidate for "rationalization".
Very nice layout thanks for the photo array. One comment (not a criticism) the strap steel pile looks to neat and square. I would think that in a real yard there would be random droppings from the loading crane around the area as well.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing as Ken. There is no easy way for a bulldozer to push the scrap alongside the tracks into a neat line without ripping up the rails in the process. It looks great though.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I'll have to give this a bit of thought. The piles are 2" foam with the metal bits white-glued on top. That's why the edges are so defined.

Jim, here is a link to a site on recycling with an image that might give you some ideas. https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/metals/the-scrap-wrap-up/ Note the rusty dusting around the ground and small pieces of scrap on the ground near the pile that dropped off the loader. A search of some other scrap recyclers site might offer some other suggestions.
ReplyDeleteKen - Thanks. I couldn't actually get your link to work. Then I typed it into google, and it worked fine. I also googled scrap metal piles photos, and (funny story)some of the photos that popped up were of the scrap recycler on my layout.
