    I have some old railway tracks, the are slightly curved so of no practical use on the farm. Just wondering what they'd make for scrap. Think they are made from mild steel. Only few of them lying around but they are of no-use so want rid. Anyone any ideas what they wud make for scrap

    Different prices from different scrap dealers so depends where you are. Give your local metal recycling centre a ring.

    Are they in your way or can you hold for a while? I think there is a fair %age of nickel in these, maybe 2%. Long story short last time nickel went to 40,000 dollars a tonne, scrap boys were going mad for these.;) Nickel has been around the 20-25,000 dollar mark for the last year or so.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
