Im sorry to hear of this loss. I can understand what it must be like having grown up near a oil furnance.. (Whadda monstor) in my time.I have been called as part of my work to drive insurance salvage wrecked vehicles in Auction here in Arkansas. These vehicles have been through wrecks and despite loss of life, damage or destruction are still driveable. Those are the ones I have to move to the auction block computer malfunctions, smashed glass, sharp steel and all.I told my employer that I will not engage in that particular part of the industry anymore. It is unnatural to me. I dont mind wrestling junkers or near salvage from time to time but the accident insurance ones are the absolute saddest of all.If it was me, I would write it all off as loss and call a dumpster truck to drop a box in the yard.You might save a few items that were in boxes or packed well but to think of an insurance company wanting to sell oil soaked train stuff is past the oomphalumpa way for me.As far as fires... I would not even power the layout up at all. One good short long enough probably will light that stuff. And there will be a serious problem that might cost your life or others. I may be a bit overboard as usual but that is how I see it.My vote goes to "Trash it all"
