John:  It may be a couple of weeks, but I can tell you this.  Crimping with a pair of track pliers didn't do the job as well as I would like.  I think the pins are a bit undersized for the track.  I do know when I splay the outer rails just ever so slightly, it ALWAYS works.  I use a strong set of needle-nose pliers and apply firm pressure, but not enough to make a visible bend.   Just enough to get a couple of degrees of splay.  This puts tension on all three pins and the track joints become firm.

 

Sunrise:  I'll try to post a couple of pics tomorrow.  As I said, the O-36 (requires 8 for a full circle) very normal looking except for the galvanized appearance.  

I checked this track out a few weeks ago at a local Menards and the track joints is a issue. They are not tight at all.
