I am assuming that you know the basic infomation on speeders/motorcars in that they were used by some railroads up to even the 1980's. The logical first step in your case is to find out information about motorcar/speeder groups in your area. The foremost group is NARCOA, the North American Railcar Operators association. Depending on where you are, however there may be more localized groups nearby. Their site, www.narcoa.org will provide you with valuable information on the make of cars, available, such as Fairmont, Woodings, Fairbanks-Morse, Kalamazoo, etc.; as well as the type of cars each manufacturer produced whether it be a small Fairmont M-9 inspection car or a large A class gang car. Being a national group their classified ad section will give you some idea of what these cars go for on the open market and an idea of where to find them. There is everything from complete basketcases that need complete rebuilds to the completely rebuilt and remanufactured cars of Les King @Les King Motorcar in Ohio. Knowing the different car types will be important in your choice in how hard it is to learn to run these cars. They range from small generator type engines with snowmobile type transmissions(no gears) to cars with manual clutch-type transmissions to belt driven hand-crank starting cars. If you have any further question post a response and I can give you further information on what sources of speeders are near you and give you an idea of what motorcar runs are like.
