I'm an "N" scaler. My Mother-in-law bought my nephews a Lionel set. It has the older tubular track. They told me they gave up on trying to get it together. I though what a wussy. Then this weekend I went for a visit. I tried to put it together. After 1 hour and very sore hands I gave up.. I tried pliers, a Vise you name it. Unless they got a defective stock of track, I don't know how generations of kids ever built anything with this. I'm a relatively fit and mechanically inclined 43 year old. I could not get it together. Either they wouldn't go together at all, or the pins would push 90% into only one side, or the center rail would get pushed out of line with the others. I told him I'd buy him some fastTrack. But I already bought him a box of tube track at a yrd sale, A large box to go with his new set. What Am I missing here ? Thanks, Dave
