How about a "kit-bashed " road switcher. ( I have no idea if there's an actual prototype for this .)

More not normal /  non run of the mill / what the heck is that.

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

I don't know either? Some getting a little bored maybe?
 
Maybe post some song lyrics.  No one else is.  A little boring of a Saturday. Boring indeed I'm ready to hit the rack.

Looks like metal buildings are not that interesting, or is it the football / basketball / hockey? Almost a day, time for a bump
