Yet another view.

Hopper trough raised.

After backpacking round most of the common destinations in Europe, our arrival into Albania gave us a huge reality check. Albania, although a naturally beautiful country, does not share the same wealth as that of its European Union neighbours. This fact was reinforced whilst we strode through the capital Tirana. Rubbish adorned the streets, a grim architectural aesthetic darkened the urban space. This photo was taking whilst walking down the main road of the city. Although not a technically brilliant image, I enjoy it for what it is; a reminder of a poor city struggling. All too often we see travel photographs highlighting amazing and serene environments. This one, I like to think, differs from that. I also enjoy the visual direction employed by my friend Craig and the building sign above his head. It makes it pretty clear what the focus of the image is all about.

Wiking 64n Mercedes-Benz refuse lorry, 1:87 scale plastic model made in Germany. This was purchased in Italy in 1972 where Wiking were distributed by Rivarossi, and this was packed in a card box at a time when smaller trucks were still sent to retailers in Germany in trade boxes and sold loose. After decades of separation I have now reunited this with its box: www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/52450830218

This type of lifter was designed to help the refuse workers get heavy sacks into the hopper.

I refuse to use its official name.

Bringing the refuse truck into the modern electric powered age courtesy of Matchbox with their brand new MBX EV Trash Truck casting. A completely generic design as far as i'm aware taking a few small styling cues from their recent EV School Bus casting but nonetheless entirely believable hence why I was happy to grab a few recently.

Metal is reserved for its cab only though the plastic rear is well cast but at this price point don't expect any moving features!

Part of 2025 Case G found at The Entertainer.

Mint and boxed.

Why do we refuse to teach our children about the responsible use of firearms?

Research shows that kids taught firearms safety by responsible adults don’t get into trouble.
