I saw a Locomotive Boneyard on a TMBV DVD of Tom Snyder's Layout. I have always wanted to incorporate a similar scene on my layout. Has anyone attempted this? If so, please share pics?

I have several locomotives in pieces just for this very idea. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
This thread is getting no love.
I bought several 19th century MTH Premier engines in all states of disrepair from the auctions they had/are having on Cabin Fever just for this purpose. I didn't care about any electronics in them.
I know someone was looking for a replacement ps/2 board. I'd have to see if any of the items I bought actually have one.
I have no pics, but I do have an observation. While I have not extensively studied photos of scrappings, the few that I have seen suggest that the cutting job didn't start at the bottom. I see layout representations of the job showing a boiler left on the ground, but the photos I have seen show the boiler being cut up on the frame/wheels.
I make no claim to "THIS is how it was done," but my observations suggest it.
I would love to see photos of the actual job which match or refute my observation!
