Rearranging Some Resin Castings

Here is the Malabar District on my HO layout, a semi-standalone micro in an adjoining basement storage room, although it's connected via a tunnel through the wall. It's set anywhere from the San Joaquin Valley to eastern Colorado or maybe even western Kansas or Nebraska.
I've been using a lot of resin junk pile and small scene castings from Rusty Rail. These come unpainted, but although they take some time and effort to paint, they leave a lot of room for creativity. I've been making up a loco junk yard outside my Yorke industrial engine shed. The loco on the right is a mostly one-piece derelict Shay loco.
Here's the Shay casting before paint.
Not too long ago, I finished another resin junk loco casting. I'm aiming to swap out some other castings so I can fit this new one into the scene and maybe move others elsewhere on the layout.
Here are two other Rusty Rail junk piles elsewhere on the layout.
I got inspiration for weathering the bulldozer from the Gold Rush TV show.
