Nice, but how much?

Recently, there was a scratch-built lowboy with jeep that sold for $600 (HO scale).

There are a couple of guys that almost compete on ebay by each adding a weathered piece of rolling stock a week for sale.

That's one of them, but I didn't get this piece from him.

Nice details on that car, if it was on a layout or if there was a background, it would look very real.
BTW, what is that orange piece of equipment behind it to the right, where did you get that and how can I find one?
