    What you are describing is a needle, not a pin. Pins look like these.

    Straight Pin

    Better off using an Atlas track nail than a straight pin? Dunno.

    If you use T pins on the outsides of the rails to hold the ties down you could run your trains.

    Another long day and I apologize for getting back on line so late.

    JDETray, Hit the pin on the head. The straight pin is precisely what I was talking about. I've also seen the T head used on HO scale layouts.

    Thanks to JDETray and SackOHammers for their able assist. This proves we have some great gals and guys here on line at TrainBoard.
