With steel prices as high as they are now many derelicts are going for scrap. One scrapper here just dumps them in the shredder and they are gone forever! I hope this trend doesn't continue!

Paul, According to my local scrappie, China is currently paying the same for shredded scrap now that they were paying for brand spankn' mterial just 12 months ago. I have been to clearing sales where some historically valuable material has gone to the shredder before today & I suspect that it will get even harder as time goes by & prices continue to rise.
Personally, I have a good relationship with a couple of the local scrappies. Get on to their truck drivers, I have been given a 'heads up' on treasure before the scrap is picked up & have been able to find homes for several items. One scrap truckie has told me if I can unload it, I can have it... he has offered to keep the treasure on the top of the load so it can be scabbed off. Talk to them, Paul, and you never know what might present itself!

Scrappies, or Victorians, which is worse?
At least scrappies don't say "ha-ha! look what I got!!!"

just remember Howard
border raiding can work the other way as well

We get a lot of external simms metal scrappies come in to this area and they will not deal even when you offer more than their scrap value .They have scrapped some serious gear in the last few years

G'Day Maxie!
Well, lets see. There's Mine, There's Tony's, There's the yellow one with the Russian flag on it (previously posted), Plus 2x F60L's on one farm, Plus one cab on the same farm... That's 5 1/2.
As a percentage of human population, I'd say that's pretty high...

So Ganmain (former centre of the cab 12 universe) is running neck and neck with Yass (current centre of the cab 12 universe). The tension is electric

And another contender is Jim Bennie with five (2 are just partial cabs)...

What about the lineup at the former airbase ..Truscott ...

I gotta go with Howard here, especially if we're counting 12-cab per local population base! Yass would be a close second methinks...
