I have been around for years in O gauge and never heard of such an item. As far as Gargraves track pins you must use a small section of Gargraves track to mate in between the O gauge & 027. To the best of my knowledge Gargraves makes adapter pins to fit their track to Lionel's 027 or O gauge only.

I always just use an O pin and open up the 027 a tad.

Or use an 027 pin for allignment purposes, run a jumper across the track ends, and screw down the track once it is inline.

Lionel did make them. I have a set that came with the bascule bridge, for example. Whether they ever sold them as a separate item, I don't know.
