Some pics I took today: Mercury Cougar that drove straight into a tree, complete loss ![]() The yard has running cars.. here's a chevy for sale outside: ![]() and these two also run, the Chevelle is in rough shape as it's never been restored and it's a daily driver and the GTO Judge is a project car, but it does work: ![]() Two non-runners: Mercedes 450SEL and Oldsmobile 442, the truck is used to jumpstart some cars in the layout ![]() and the yard is going to participate in the local demo derby in a Pontiac: ![]()

Nice layout... that mobile office in the third pic or the old Lesney one is a near-grail item since I need two for my mythical "Off-Brand and Home-Market Club" and the "Mustang Club" in a diorama of a real-world interpretation of SG that I want to build someday... And is the "for sale" Chevy the Yat Ming Citation? I've passed up three for being the only casting I like in bag lots and it being in terrible condition (typically bad glass, metal fatigue, broken pillars, no grille or broken/cracked base that'll keep it from being customized/restored) |

Thank you! I have another trailer in great condition. Yes, the for sale car is a Citation. Pretty good shape, I have had it since I was a kid, it's only been detampoed. |

Is that tilt tray a modified Matchbox Flareside F-100? If yes, how did you do it? |

Yes it is, one of my fav castings. I cut the casting in half, extended the chassis with a plastic truck chassis + epoxy and then worked a bit on the ramp that came off a hot wheels? set, pretty easy way to have a rollback! |
