Alongside emergency service vehicles and taxis, sanitation trucks play a critical role in city life. Autocar DK trucks (before COE garbage trucks became widespread) were popular in the US in the 1970s–80s, especially in NYC. Their front axle is set back toward the center, giving the truck a shorter wheelbase and a distinctive appearance.
I’d been planning to build this truck for a while, and after Lego released their new garbage truck (which I recently reviewed), I knew the time had come. The model is built on the same chassis as my other two trucks, which has proven to strike a great balance between rigidity and detail. Some design elements, like the hood tapering method and windshield, are shared with my Peterbilt, but I made sure this truck still looks distinctively different.
One of the biggest challenges was the wheel arches — after countless iterations, I found that regular 1x1 clip pieces work best. As for other features, apart from the obvious opening tailgate, I incorporated a simple but functional compactor plate mechanism. It can actually grab and push small trash pieces up into the main compartment (4th pic).
Also, I've decided to keep the original color scheme from the set, so you could even call this MOC a set remake.
My first move from number taking to photography was too black and white using a Hanimex Compact non SLR “point and shoot” camera with a 40mm lens of dubious quality around the edges of the frame. Here we find a four car Class 115 diesel muitiple unit idling alongside Marylebone depot sometime in 1974. The depot on the left was the original six road carriage sheds built in 1898 converted to service the Class 115 fleet allocated for Marylebone suburban services in 1961. Apart from the Class 115 fleet the depot also had one of Cricklewood’s diesel shunters outstationed. This was I think the only occasion I visited the depot in daylight as usually I would visit late at night whilst waiting time to catch an overnight service from Paddington. At that late time of day the six roads would be full of Class 115’s, most of which would still be have their Leyland Albion engines idling away resulting in the dimly lit shed having an ghostly smoke filled atmosphere. Forty one Class 115 high density suburban four car sets were ordered from Derby Works and entered traffic in 1960. Thirty five sets were allocated to Marylebone with the remaining six sets allocated to Allerton for Liverpool suburban duties. The Class 115 fleet at Marylebone operated until displaced by Class 165 units around 1991 when the fleet was generally withdrawn. The Class 165 fleet was also provided with a new depot at Aylesbury and Marylebone depot was closed. The site is now covered in blocks of flats.

A cosy box, Crewe Steel Works still has a good number of working levers, with its crossover and access to and from the Electric Traction Depot.
It's a 1935 built LMS type.
Our eldest daughter, Cerys. At the weekend we like to take them to the seafront to ride their bikes as it's a long stretch, very flat and, well they don't have the confidence to cycle cross-country yet :)
I also wanted to try and take some portraits with the compact camera, the Olympus Mju 720w again. Of course, i couldn't help but make the image al little darker, which means Cathy hates the image, but i like it :)
Late 70's shot of a load of used Chryslers. I have another view of this rig but I found this better pic on FB.
These tiny leaves are sort of peculiar. I don't know if the plant is dehydrated or if it's just a part of the physiology of the plant, but the stem of the leaf looks rather flat, doesn't it? Plants are such bizarre creatures in the first place when you compare them to animals.
Almost exclusively do they not rely on other animals for direct nutrition. Almost all of them are rooted in one way or another to a substrate. Their gross anatomy is so unlike ours.
Then again. Earth teems with plants. Maybe we're the odd ones.
The Studebaker Lark is a compact car which was produced by Studebaker from 1959 to 1966. From its introduction in early 1959 until 1962, the Lark was a product of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation.
The theme for today in the Kerrisdale Cameras daily photo challenge is “Compact”. I struggled with this one until I saw one of my daughters CD’s (Compact Disc) sitting on the table reflecting light from a nearby window #kcphotochallenge

The XSE trim level. It's basically just an appearance upgrade. There's no additional performance that comes with the XSE trim compared to the SE trim. For more performance, one must move up to the GR Corolla.

The small size of the Black Hills Central's Baldwin 2-6-6-2 tank locomotives--38 foot wheelbase-- can really be seen from above--in this aerial view, #108 has topped the steep initial climb out of Hill City and is now winding between the hills on a light downgrade before the drop into Keystone.
Architect: James Herbert Brownell (1962)
Developer: Pearce & Co.
Builder: Fergin-Griffin Co.
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views. More information can be found here
