Yeah!
In the various sub menues,, -old track-, -bogey wheel-, -steel pipes-, -timber stack-, -trackwood-, -bucket on bench-, -wooden crates-, -clutter-, -mud logs-, -mud dozer-, -scrap ship-, (This is a sunk and broken rusty tanker ship),
There are more wheels, axles and beat up rolling stock. I did not write the names down. sorry.
To place around scrap, this yellow grass works good -grass gelb-.

I have a stack of crushed cars on the DLS. I'm not sure if that fits in with your theme or not, but it's <kuid2:124017:20069:1>.

I had troubles with TRS2004 refusing to load (see the dual installation thread in TRS2004)
What I did do was painted a passenger vehicle for Christmas, and I deselected anti-aliasing in Photoshop 7, dropped the tolerance down to 15 and came up with a real humdinger of a peeling paint job.
Did the same with a repaint of an NYC passenger car and put some real rust textures on it. Exploring all the different paintbrushes in Photoshop can turn into quite a creative adventure. For example, I found the butterfly brush with dynamic scattering was quite pretty. (This is entirely off topic for scrap, but just an idea of what could be achieved. )
I did a bit of a screenshot of my workshops to illustrate the scrap ideas I have.
First image has a scenery tramcar (Brisbane) kuid2:108959:27365:2 dumped on the ground with a chook house out the front. Behind it is a QR QLX graffiti 1 kuid2:59737:6000:1, a scenery object just dumped on the ground.
The next image is simply the SS Foundry car on invisible track, sunk 2 metres, I think. Supposed to be sunk in the mud.
Here is an asset I changed. All I did was removed the bogies, and changed the category class to "BR". Its the NSWGR SWF water gin.
The auto couplers are still attached so I lowered it until the couplers were not visible.
Here's a pile of scrap steel, and in the background is that Brisbane Scenery tram asset, on "MB_overgrown_track_bed" kuid:35412:38074. In the background is another QR wagon, QR QLX graffiti 1 NG, kuid2:59737:6003:2
This one is just a pile of sleepers (sleeper_pile, built in) and in the background is the Lokschuppen kuid:164988:399895 which I am using as a Paint Shop.
Now this locomotive is the DL500 Double from Paintshop. I saved it with no colour, so it came out grey, pre-weathered on the sides. What I did was opened the main.bmp file in Photoshop7, selected the paint bucket, (color Pink) set the tolerance to 3, deselect anti-alias, and deselect contiguous. Apply paint bucket once, and presto, a locomotive about to get the sanding and undercoat job finished before paint layers. My memory is poor. I think I first applied white, then pink. I have my reasons for using pink - as I want to use this locomotive for another narrative; you may choose your own colours.
This carriage is BS Candy, a paintshed job from the DLS. 60318:10030
What I did was opened the TGA file in Photoshop, selected assorted brushes, dropped the flow down to about 60%. I then used a dual colour brush and made three sweeps down the side of the car using different colours to get a different paint damage, peel, and rust effect. Play around with it, the world is your imagination.
This car is a reskinned NYC vehicle, nyc_lounge_gulf ... I don't have the kuid because I applied my own kuid when I manually put it into /custom/trains/
What I did to this car was first apply undercoat gray to all the sides.
Then I got some texture brushes in Photoshop and applied dual texture to simulate bad rust in the body.
I was just playing around here, nothing special, simply recalling the rust I used to see in the EMU's I used to catch to work in the 1980's.
This is just another view of the same vehicle showing where I applied rust
Have fun, now.

That's perfect for my route. It's called "Mixed-Region", previously called "Multiple-Gauge (Crazed Yards)". I've stopped trying to make it's main line electric. The reason for it's naming is it has content from several regions.
My route currenty features three yards, one of which is a scrap yard. I kinda tried to make it like the Island of Sodor scrap yard(s). The main "workers" there are Iron 'Arry & Bert. It's imitation of the yard means there's a "pit", where you can dump scrap cars or engines, although one of the Trainz bugs cause them to "jump" back out.

I like scrapyards as well, here are a couple of pics of mine:

All of the objects I got off the DLS except for the filthy old bubblecars and EPB coaches which I basically opened up the texture files in Photoshop and added layers of dirt and graffiti and the stripped out NSE coach which I made (I will upload it to the DLS when I get round to it). The ground texture is very good, I think it was called 'scrap metal' or something?
You can raise up the ground and cover it with that to make it look like heaps of scrap.

I have that "scrap metal" texture. I didn't entirely use it for my scrap yard, it's main texture is supposed to look like concrete. I'll post some screenshots of it later. It has large "walls" around it, simply made of terrain. There is no way you can see it from the outside in Driver. It's seperated from most of the route by a tunnel.
Oh, speaking of tunnels, I heard there was a addon tool you could use to "bore" through the ground in another thread. Is there such a tool?

if you are looking for images to use that might have graffiti covered scrap trains search on websites like www.graffiti.org digital jungle and eyegasm are also really good site, graffiti artists like to take really big photos of their graffits, and they refer to scrap trains as "dead trains"
