    I can understand the legalities to scrapping this material, however, where might a guy find a 12"-18" section to rail to use as a beginners blacksmith anvil. Can't dump $2000 into an anvil, and I've been told rail sections work wonderfully.

    Good question Mike. I have a 6" section of track that was left to me along with other tools from my Grandfather. The thing is great! Yea a 12" or even 16" would be killer.

    Welcome to the forum please take a moment to introduce yourself in said section so we can get to know a bit about you. I can guess you like to bang on steel all day!
