Motorcycle has the kickstand on the wrong side....

To think that an old motorcycle aficionado would pull such a faux pas, though the marques I mostly rode were off-road, CZ, Husqvarna & Honda with no sidestands.  

But back to the rust, how bout' a rusty dumpster.   More rust please, regards, Peter

.

Heavy is very relative.

.

For a bulkhead flatcar, I think these steel beams are a VERY heavy load. This scene is from the North Georgia Modu-Rails group modular layout.

.

.

Show me something that is blue.

Ummmm... OK.

I "hope" there isn't a limit on how many picture's you can post all at once. If there is, I'm sorry. I know I have posted  most of these truck's before, but this time I felt they should all be together.

( Seeyou190 did say "or more"   ..... so this is all his fault.)

Let's see some Machinery ...

Rust...... It's a good thing !

Sorry . I was typing while you were posting, so I didn't see your post before I threw mine up.

I "edited" mine to ask for some machinery. ( Please dont beat me with a "rubber hose" ...)

Not really machinery, but it has been over 24 hours, so lets switch over to equipment.

Here is a bunch of that yellow stuff from Peoria displayed on the Athens Bend Track modules in Atlanta, Georgia:
