Arnold if you are handy with soldering, you might consider it and eliminate the lockons at the track when you do your rewire.  I think it provides better conductivity.   Fendermain

I actually found a wire glowing cherry red under the tenuous grip of an aging Fahnestock lockon clip - and this was on a carpet layout! That was the last time I used a lockon for power - I now solder every connection to the bottom of the track when using my 027 track.

For Fastrack, I use feeders to the factory clips, and the other end of the feeders are all screwed down on a bus bar type connection. I haven't had any issues as of yet. But then I always make certain the connectors are a very snug fit
