I have one of these. I got a three foot section from a friend and cut is up into 12" pieces. It needs to be small enough to be manageable. I have a friend that gets it by the truckload all in 40 foot pieces.

Well my daughter is home schooled by my wife and when we moved house we decided to build a room in part of our double garage for the purpose, that way all the mess is out of the house and it is a purpose built space with less distractions.
It's 3.1 X 4.8 metres and fully insulated, i got a nice window from a friend and cut that in, i put a sub board in the garage so it can have a few power circuits, i still have to run the phone and data cabling but i need to build the office in the house first( i am going to build in a small covered area outside the unused front door) we also scored a free cassette (flush ceiling mounted) air con too, i can get that room pretty frosty or toasty warm now.
You contact someone who is around the stuff all day long and ask them to send you a piece...
A small section of track is perfect for pinning. You put a small divot in one end and a deeper hole in the other for driving out pins. .
PM me if you want a lead on a guy who works at a railroad and sees chunks of rail regularly...he's a srp member
My little anvils and 4 oz (124 gm) hammer. I cushion the bottom to account for a somewhat heavy hand.

Jeweler’s anvils, watchmakers staking blocks or plates can be useful tools for pinning and un-pinning projects. Sometimes you can find vintage ones cheap. Portable too.
