MikeWalter,
Yes the very 1st generation had a Black Mid Rail, easy to identify. The 2nd generation had the same kind of pins, however they are absolutely correctly positioned and very tight in the rails and both these tracks work perfectly.

Gave away two new Thomas sets, they both have spots where the engine stops as does one from last year. Did anyone actually test this track prior to the redesigned production?
Is there a YouTube video link I can send them which shows how to crimp the ends?

Hi, I actually watched this video today - https://youtu.be/pfI7968aPhg. I hope that helps a bit. My goal for the copper tape was to help snug the pins that touch, I have not used any of it yet, but will try and remember to report back after I give it a go with the tape I found.
