Arthur's second link is for Autolumination. I have purchased screw in and bayonet LEDs (for Lionel replacement) from them. Great company and they shipped quickly.
On my first trip to their site, I didn't realize that they carried track pins...and at a good price. I need several of the O gauge steel pins for my steel works project. I was going to cast and paint several pins, but this is better.
Try Mike Spanier who sells original Super O pins. Don't buy repros as many are too thick and do not fit! He also moderates the Yahoo Super O Group. Here's a link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lionel_SuperO_Track/messages?o=1&yguid=293788742
HTH,

Strange Lionel never brought Super O back.
Thanks everyone, I'll pass on this info.
Michael, I'll email you after I talk to my friend, probably this weekend.

I've always heard that the tooling for Super O no longer exists. Maybe someone with greater inside knowledge than mine can confirm or deny it.
Mike is the man you want...follow up on his offer.
When I had a Super O layout, I used Gargraves track pins for the outside rails. I don't know of any substitute for the center rail joiners.

I've seen pictures of odd colored castings of the molded tie base which would seem to indicate that those molds are still around.
