Show Me Something! June 2017
Posted by JOHN C TARANTO on Thursday, June 1, 2017 1:45 PM

Welcome to the June "Show Me Something" thread! This is a place where forum members can post their photos containing a view of the "requested" scene or object.

No "real-life" photos but models only. After 24 hours, if the requested scene is not posted anyone is welcome to make their own submission and make their own request. It's all about having fun!  

Okay guys, I'll start off June with a couple of photos of Johnson's Junk Yard.

Show me more junkyards, scrapyards, recycling operations, etc.

Behind the fence in a triangular lot is The Recycler. It's a start up so it is fairly clean. It has a crane and a couple of employees.

The Recycler receives scrap cardboard from trucks and loads it onto railcars

Please show me more junkyards, scrapyards, recycling operations.

“I was going to post a picture of my 2-10-10-10-2, with my pet Norwegian Parrot in the cab,”
“Remarkable bird the Norwegian Blue, beautiful plumage”.
 
“I always thought that Kiwis were in advance over us Canadians but it seems that that particular bear is a different animal”.
Guy, I am pleased that you acknowledge that Kiwis are more advanced than Canadians but as I have no wish to ignite a flame war, and as my late Mother taught me to be a polite Bear, I will assume that you meant “more advanced” as in time zones, only!!Whistling Smile, Wink & Grin  Actually, I’m not keen at starting a thread that I don’t regularly participate in, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!!!
 
Line side scrap!!
 
Please show me 1.

Cheers, the Bear.Smile

LOL.

Wayne and I responded at the same time... So, what are we looking for, a "10" or a "0", I guess either one or the other will be OK.

How often does this happen on WPF?

Okay, on the right is L-4a Mohawk #3101.  Click on photo for a closer look.

Just a reminder that Jarrell known as Jacon12 started the "Show Me Somerhing" thread 6 years ago this month

It has been a long time since I have seen one of his posts and I know i speak for all when I wish him well.
