Train wreck yard in central Florida area or even within the United States?
Q. I'm looking for some old train items like road signs or train pieces or rail. I've tried finding somethings online but I can't find an actual place where I can go and walk about. Anyone have any ideas where I can find a car junk yard for trains? Have tried ebay but the few things I've purchased have not been what they were said to be. I want somewhere I can poke about and actually see the itemto make sure it is real.

A. There is a place in Montana that recycles old rail equipment, scrap yard for metal recycle. It was on Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. What you want does not exist. Old stuff is put in a yard until disposal can be arranged.

How do you try to buy or bid on totaled vehicles by car insurance companies?
Q. I m interested in trying to find a vehicle like mine, but wrecked with a good engine and transmission and any other parts I can salvage to keep mine alive for a few more years . I would like to know in general how to search and bid on wrecked vehicles that have been totaled by insurance companies and are now up for bid. This would be kind of like what a wrecking yard must do to purchase vehicles for parts resale, or a used car dealer that would in turn repair the vehicle and resell with salvage title. Any leads on where to start would be appreciated

A. Ask your insurance agent. He should be able to tell you what they do with the totaled cars. A lot of the time they have salvage yards take them or auction them off at a local auction. Good luck and hope you find one.
