ADCX Rob Use a length of appropriately sized piano hinge wire to tap out the broken or pushed in pin from the other end of the track section.

Thanks I was thinking something of that idea but the ones I was able to get ahold of where a bear to move so need to get some penetrating oil first I think so they will move when tapped not just laugh at me. I did use a small jewelery screw driver and was able to open the end of the rail and get it to where I could get a hold of it and pull it out with a tiny pair of needle nose pliers and get the track bent back so there is some hope that way just time consuming about 20 minutes playing with it( and it being the first time) so maybe future ones will be quicker and easier but that was even a bear to get out lol.

How do you get pins out of the outside rails that got pushed in to far. I have about 1/16 of a inch sticking out if that. Do you get new ones and some how push these old ones farther into the track? as I cant see how to get them out otherwise. Or do you just solder a wire to the 2 tracks where they join.
