Thanks Newman. This mystery may remain just that, a strange question. Would like to hear any other opinions.

Hence the name “O27.”

He had pins that the different ends of the pins allowed the pin to connect a 027 to an 0 gauge rail without a special section of track to convert. the different size tracks. That is what I remember of these different type of connecting pins. Just as HO scale had conversion sections of track to go from code 110 track to match to code 83 rail ( mostly the different height of the rail) So did Lionel to go between the 2 types of rail.
