Creative track storage pin uses

[garethjellis]

What is the most creative thing you have done with a track storage pin?

[v6TransAM]

Thrown them away to this point Not very creative, but lacking a better use I was getting quite a stack going.

[paul_delahaye]

I use them to hold 4 pieces of track together when I don't have the track in a layout

Handles on shipping containers. Sections of street lamp poles.

Handles next to the doors of my tram. It puts a little bit too much stress on the clips I've put them into, which will be a problem for later use.

Handrails on my yellow Maersk loco.

I found them to be very handy on pistons, actually, as they're about 5L and have a stop on the end. I used them in this way on my 4-4-0 design, and while the engine has been almost entirely rebuilt the track pins have never been under consideration for replacement.

I really like the cylinder use!

Simply brilliant!

Glued them on a 6x1 tile . The 1x4 antenna's don't exist in dark bluish gray.

Yes, good one, that piston idea will solve a lot of problems. Well done.

That is great use of a spanner wrench accessory as well.

I use them at dead ends on the tracks! put the pin up through the hole in the track and it stops it going off the track! a quick fix until i build a buffer.

They make great loads for my track repair train. Must try the piston use, that is brilliant.
