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 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!!!

Well, this isn't from a kit, so it's definitely not kitbashed from two or more kits, either.  I didn't even scratchbuild it, so I guess it must be a model that I sorta detailed and, hopefully, it'll look like it's been upgraded."
I started with a Rivarossi diner, found on the "used" table at my LHS for just a few bucks.  After cutting a piece out of the middle, I glued it back together, plugged a few windows, then added a baggage door on each side...

It has a basic interior, but still needs a few passengers and perhaps a conductor to stand in the open vestibule having a smoke...

Show me another something that you detailed, upgraded, kitbashed, or scratchbuilt.

This is an Eastern Car Works 3500CF DryFlow Covered Hopper Kit, but it is more like a kitbash in a box.

All the pieces out of the kit, which is essentially two of the 2600CF Airslide kits with a new roof and frame section. The Airslide parts needed to be cut apart to make two new longer sides. (and they were warped beyond belief).

The new sides with the left over pieces shown.

The finished car after a lot of work!

I already posted two other versions of this scene on WPF. The curved trestle is a customized version of a straight trestle that I believe was sold by IHC. I thought it was still available through another company but Walthers isn't showing it.

The train is a mixed train with a trailing combine out of view of the camera.

With mail, express, passengers, and freight, it's definitely a mixed train.

While the "BEE" has only a single powered truck, it can handle up to a dozen cars, much more than would be prototypical, especially on my 3.5% grades.

.

.

OK, this is a harder one... Someone else post a train with a recognizable vehicle from a movie or TV show. Don't take the easy way out and get a Hot Wheels Batmobile, lets see something really interesting. Maybe one of you custom painted Snowman's tractor/trailer from Smokey and the Bandit or something!

.

I hope I didn't kill this thread with only 4 days left in the month, LOL.

.

By the way... Yes, those two STRATTON & GILLETTE freight cars took a long magical ferry ride to get to post-apocolyptic Australia! I wish I had a kangaroo to add to the scene.

Lone Wolf and Santa Fe
That car is from the 1st Mad Max movie. Right?

.

It was at the end of Mad Max (1979), in that movie it is called the Pursuit Special of the Main Force Patrol. It is in almost the entire second Mad Max movie commonly known as The Road Warrior (1981). This is the movie where it is called the last of the V8 interceptors. I hoped the car would make at least a cameo appearance in Fury Road (2015), but it did not.

.

The model is made by Stan Johansen Miniatures of Fort Pierce Florida. It is cast in resin as nine pieces. They make a lot of Post-Apocalyptic model cars.

.

I added the "Starsky & Hutch" stripes and Australian flag because I just do not like all black models.

.

Not a speeder, but a track inspection car.  Mine was made from a Sylvan kit, but I couldn't find any suitable wheels.  The ones shown were punched from sheet styrene, but I didn't have a big enough punch...

It's based on one used by the prototype TH&B, although theirs was a Chrysler.  It had an interior jack in the centre of the vehicle, and when lowered, it raised the car off the tracks, allowing the operator and a helper to turn it around.

Show me another unusual rail vehicle, please.

An incredibly realistic scene, DrWayne.  I thought I was looking at the prototype.  Only the lack of wires between the utility poles gave it away.  Fine craftsmanship!

In my era they were mostly fourteen-wheelers. Does that count?

More big trucks, please.

No big trucks on my late '30s layout, but I just wanted to send my belated "Thanks" to Mister Mikado, Lee, and Ed for their very kind and generous remarks. Big Smile

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming and "More big trucks, please."
