Reply to "Track pliers... which work best?"

I have restored more 027 tube track from the 50's than I wanna admit. I hated to blow out $25 to $35 for track pliers, so I have always used a pair of needled nosed and done like others - I remove the pin, buff any rust off using the wire brush off a Dremel, cleaned out the hole using tiny grinder tools that have a small grinding nodes on the end, (always get a little puff of rust) put the pin back and crimped the rail with the pliers where the "T" forms under the pin and then crimp the pin with a slight compression of the tube with small wire cutters.
