We at TinMan3 rail have made a commitment to replace most all old style pins with our new Stainless steel pins. 

Well we recondition a lot of track, so guess what we ended up with! Yup lots and lots of used O gauge and O27 pins. This sale is for a minimum of 100 good quality perfectly usable Original O gauge pins. So if you want to build a stock of very reasonable pins, here's your chance. When packing if we see some pins that are less than pristine, we will add some extra pins, so don't be surprised if you get more than the original 100 pieces promised.  

A word or two about changing pins.  What we discovered really fast that removing the original pins was quite a problem, Not only were many very hard to pull out, but we were damaging the track in the process. To solve this problem, we came up with a track pin removal jig which when used does not damage the tracks.  To grasp the pins for pull out with our new pin removal jig, we now use a modified small 10" bolt cutter that we modify by cutting away the blades. The big advantage is that bolt cutters have a compound action which means you get 2 or 3 times the holding power on the pins than the force you are using with your hands. Both of these items are listed on eBay in other listings. If you are only going to change a few pins, no big deal, but in our case we are changing thousands of pins, it was a huge problem solved.
