Thanks! I got a 580 Brickyard mixed in with a lot of other things at ebay.
It has one broken blue rail, a blue tipper bin missing the pin on one end
and the claw is missing. Otherwise it is complete. A friend is ging to
send me the claw and rail at a later time. That just leaves the blue tipper
bin to have a complete functioning set. I really like this grouping. Clean
lines, I think it represents some of the best of Lego. At the risk of
doing myself out of the bin, I would like to point out that in the 580
truck, the bin does not hook into anything special. Rather the pins on
either end rest between 2 studs.

I bring the truck base and my broken bin.
