K-Line Super Snap Track Pins

Bob, I don't know much about this type of track but last night I was scouting the web and was on modeltrainsandstuff.com. (Mb Klien) They have the Kline track pins in the clearance section of the website.

Bob Young...Former Kline Super-Snap track is currently part of RMT product line.

The rail is similar to tubular O-gauge height/size.

 

Due to the rail dimensions, 0-27 size pins may not fit correctly.

Having built several display layouts using SuperSnap, with pins added for alignment and electrical reasons, I can say for sure the Lionel 'O' pins work fine.

 

 

Bob, I have used traditional o gauge pins (both Lionel, and K-Line) with success on this track.

To second what Len said, any O gauge track pins work fine. I would recommend using them on all sections. I have a couple hundred feet with zero problems.

Walter, you should know, and the jury ratifies that.  Thanks for all of your input.  The reason I thought the O27 pins were right is because I have some old K-line O27 track and the pins join with SuperSnap easily, while the Lionel O pins require some force.  I guess the "force" is necessary for good electrical connection, while the O27 may be satisfactory for alignment purposes only.  Anyway, it looks like the O has it.

Bob,

I've put down quite a bit of SuperSnap track and switches. The track pins I use are the traditional O Gauge pins and they work fine. I have put pins in all the track connections because I thought that the conductivity would be better. I did learn one lesson the hard way. If there are areas where you want to use a fiber pin such as an insulated block or for the non derailing feature of a switch, remove the SuperSnap metal connectors where you are using the fiber pin. I simply bent them back but that wasn't good enough to keep one from touching and causing a problem. It's a difficult electrical problem to track down after the track is laid.

Ditto the O pins.  My layout is all original K-Line track and switches.  I did not use pins in every joint but I did use them in center rail and alternating outside rails since I jumped in AC power at every Switch.  Works well.  G
