Wow, everyone has some really nice junkyards and hopefully i can make my own one day real soon. I would want a wheel loader and a crane in mine. in the RC/ertl catalog, they've got some cool stuff in the 1:50 prestige line. any recommendations on which ones to look for? |

Good luck starting your junkyard! I always enjoy seeing more junkyards! ![]() As for the 1/50 pieces I'm clueless so I'll let someone else answer that part. |

Good luck starting! I got my wheel loader from Family Dollar for $1.50 on clearance. It's all-plastic, and is in the John Deere line. Might be worth checking out. As crazy as it sounds, I am actually going to be smelting some crushed car bodies so that I can pour the molten metal into a mold and make a weight for these kinds of things. |

Harry... dont let Jim scare you off, although he is right on all points. It is an addiction, mine has become an obsession. Let me help. C'MON... YA KNOW YOU WANT TO! Take a tip though, make it bigger then you think you need. It will grow faster then you think.

I gotta agree with Jim. I am a hopeless case! But hey... it's not a "bad" vice. We have a bunch of good looking yards here at Swifty's. I just wanted to invite you to the fun. You will get addicted though and become one of us... resistence is futile... (sp). Its all in fun...
