What problems are you having with them? If they're loose, you can solder them. I've found a few N-gauge ones mixed in with my HO's, which kind of reminded me of pulling a pair of pants out of the closet to discover "they shrunk."
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Yes - hand-lay your track and don't use them. At all. Requires feeders every piece of rail though. Next time, I will definitely pre-curve the rail using a rail bender and possibly butt solder my rail joints on curves - getting the joints on curves to line up without kinks was too much work without these steps.
Yours in joinerless track
