One of Shippensburg’s CD trucks sitting at the Diller transfer station where they have a container stash
Pontiac, Michigan.
The blue and orange G&H originally came from Pennsylvania. Most of these trucks live on today with a fresh coat of GFL paint.
This Advanced Disposal front loader pulls out of their Rolling Meadows division, which is a subsidiary of the Northbrook yard. However, it used to be considered a subsidiary of the Melrose Park division, so it hosts a unique fleet of trucks.
In an effort to replace an aging fleet, this truck hit the road late last year, replacing a Mack MR Heil.
Lyn was a 2-4-2 tank steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1898 for the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway. Between July 1897 and January 1898, employees of many British engineering companies were striking in an attempt to win the right to an eight-hour working day, leaving locomotive builders with large backlogs of unfulfilled orders. Thus, the Lynton and Barnstaple instead consulted the US based Baldwin to produce the engine they needed. After construction in Philadelphia, the loco was disassembled, shipped to Barnstaple, and reassembled by L&B staff in their Pilton workshops.
Lyn, like all the locomotives on the L&B, was named after a local river with a three-letter name, the River Lyn.
After the Lynton and Barnstaple became part of the Southern Railway in 1923, Lyn was taken to Eastleigh Works for major overhaul in 1928, returning the following year in Southern Green Livery and carrying the number E762 on the side tanks, as well as the original nameplates on the cab sides.
Lyn was scrapped in 1935 when the line closed.
In January 2009, The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Trust announced a project to build an advanced modern replacement 'Lyn' for use on the restored railway by 2012. By 2013, Lyn's wooden cab had been built, along with the boiler and most fittings, wheels, cylinders, and many other components. CAD and modern engineering techniques were employed to ensure that, while the finished locomotive remains true to the original in appearance, it will perform much more efficiently and be easier to maintain and operate. The final assembly was carried out by Alan Keef Ltd. who has had experience with other Baldwin locos, such as the restoration of Baldwin 794 for the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. First steamed on 8 July 2017, Lyn is finished in the colors and configuration of the original Lyn after returning from overhaul in 1929. The locomotive had its public debut at the L&B's September 2017 gala and is now resident at Woody Bay railway station.
Advanced Disposal provides curbside leaf collection in three municipalities in Lake County, Illinois. This Mack DM is seen collecting leaves in Zion on a Friday morning with a GVM8000 vacuum attached to a modified compactor.
I believe that this truck initially operated out of Advanced Disposal's hauling operation in Waunakee, Wisconsin, as that hauling site's phone number is still displayed on the cab's doors. The unit is also a hook-lift, which is not used by any Advanced shop in the Chicagoland area.
With all of the high-tech activity on Endor it was only a matter of time before the Ewoks started getting ideas of their own.
I've also started using Instagram to upload a few little things. If you have one of those fancy iPhones, I'll see you there! I'm on there as Balakov, unsurprisingly.
This 2004 Mack, paired with a Heil Half/Pack Front Loader, is seen tackling a commercial waste route in the Chicagoland suburbs. This combination has accounted for the bulk of Advanced's Melrose Park fleet for some time, but units such as this one are slowly being replaced and put on "Spare" duty.
The Melrose Park fleet has seen some variance in their new front load orders with primarily McNeilus units mounted on Macks, Peterbilts and Autocars.
This truck dates back to at least Veolia days, and perhaps even Onyx. The unit received an Advanced Disposal wrap/sticker upon Advanced's acquisition of Veolia's North America solid waste operations.
Walking on Sandymount strand last weekend I spotted a couple of Brent Geese. They overwinter here and this must be the advanced party. It’s about that time again.

I've been wanting to do the Bane head combo for awhile now. Never got around to it until now. Enjoy.

With a few days till the end of Legomoc's contest, I thought I'd upload my entry before it's too late. With so many clone troopers being overdone these days, I wanted to make something unique and new.
Honestly, this fig was fun to make, but a pain in the ass! Anyway, let's go over the elements:
-Helmet: custom molded from 2 action figure helmets (tie fighter pilot and clone trooper) The helmet also incorporated a TT radio as an antenna, a warhammer piece on the helmet, and several Republic customs decals. I used some shiny black testor's paint to make the visor more shiny. This is the only time I used Testor's paint, as it's too thick for my taste. The rest was painted with citadel.
-Body armor: A set of brickwarriors Gears of War RT armor, painted and decal'ed. Features hand painted Star wars droid language on shoulder straps (?). A warhammer piece is attached to the chest, giving the soldier more bulkiness. A republic customs decal was applied on the left shoulder and then painted over, to make the ACT (Advanced Combat Trooper) insignia.
-Jetpack: a retired(?) Brick Affliction jump pack, painted and decale'd. Republic customs decals are on the sides of it.
-Arms/hands: Republic customs decals cover most of the arm, with Brickforge Vambrances covering the other half. The left one even features the communication device! The hands have bits of Brickwarriors greaves.
-Body: Republic customs decals cover the body under the armor.
-Hip piece: BrickMOC Modern combat Rig hip piece
-Legs: Republic customs decals on top of brickwarriors modified greaves. Brickwarriors greaves scraps are also on the sides of the legs, which had to be sculpted on to give them more bulkiness. A TT pouch is on the left leg.
-Minigun: I knew this fig had to have a minigun, to suit his bulky build, so I found the Minigun that Republic Customs gave me long ago during his eBay days as a freebie. I;m not sure on who originally made it though.
Well that's it! Hope you guys enjoy! Hugely inspired by many of you!
I was contacted by the Deputy Editor of Advanced Photographer, asking if I remembered our encounter 3yrs ago in Piccadilly while she was doing street candids for DSLR mag, she found the moo card I gave her and wanted to know if they could do a feature of my reflections images, needless to say I said yes and the results are now ready for anyone to buy in any good newsagents.
This awesome ID was for sale for € 21.000.

The pile of extra stuff sitting behind the Shiremanstown borough building. I’m not quite sure what all these are for, the cascades have been here for years and they use them for trash at the parks when there’s large parties, but these sierras and bins just showed up this week.
Operated by: Advanced Disposal, Saint Paul, MN
Unit Number: 271026
Body: Labrie Expert 2000
Chassis: International
Notes:

A spare truck on the trash collection route in my area this week. Nice to see an ex-Veolia green unit once more. It still remains to be seen what will happen to these older ex-Veolia units once WM starts integrating with existing Advanced operations at the Saint Paul yard.

Further to the previous installment…
When packing models, it good to pack similar models together. In the unlikely event that parts do break off in transit, parts will often be interchangeable making the models much easier to reassemble. One of our club members demonstrates this technique here using his S-class diesel and steam locomotives.
One of the last trucks remaining in the fleet that was originally bought by IWS. It’s next in line at Camp Hill to be ran through the shop and then (probably) get new WM Decals.
..level 7 (bonus!)
..popping over for a game ..& cup of tea with my friend kktp ..see you after the break & have a excellent one :-)
It appears this truck was transferred in jut to be parted out, I doubt it’ll be around for too long.
This is an APS-H photo shot on Fujifilm APS Nexia A200 using a Yashica Profile 4000iX camera.
I did this because all the equipment involved was cheap and easy to get, but it sucked. It wasn't worth it. Here's my blog post about it.
