Based on part of my local junkyard, its like 4x8 and way outta scale. All the vehicles are 1/25, all the terrain is clearly not that! Adding to it when I'm not building other models, Next I probably need to build that building out of something not cardboard!

1965 Peterbilt 281

Very nice pete! -
Based on the Yard truck at Phipps Auto Parts, which is a Peterbilt 377 with a 60 series Detroit, 15 speed transmission, Hydraulic tank and lines, and that killer front push bar (which wasn't put on yet!) This 377 was first sold in Georgia when it was then sold to Staker Alloys, and became there 8th truck, hey Staker Alloys 8!! After The Cohen brothers bought out Staker Alloys it was then used up until 2014 or so, then was sent over to West Carrolton and used as the yard truck in Cohens West Carrolton Shredder, there it was once "stress tested" with way over 80 thousand pounds worth of material in a trailer that is in remarkable shape for its age, after that in around 2020 or so it was sold to Phipps Auto Parts as a yard truck. Still wearing the logos of its former owner it currently works as a yard truck. Stacks flipped over it doesn't get put on the road, this worked until someone ripped the driver stack off. It will, at one point get the front ram bar from a Cement truck thingy. The trailer is a scrap trailer, for sheet metal. Also a former Cohen trailer that was painted blue. When it was sold it got repainted, and the paint didn't last well... The Recycling C or Cohens current logo has come from underneath the paint, and more importantly the P, now proudly displaying "Chipps" while also having Cohens phone number and website bleeding through. The Truck is an Italeri Peterbilt 377, passenger fuel tank switched to two smaller ones, stacks messed with, and rear flaps/brake lights of a Revell USA 359. Trailer is a AMT big rig trailer, the IMC one thats about 36 foot. cut the roof of and "filled" with sheet iron and such.
