Morning 48111, hope you're feeling better today.
I can appreciate the problems caused by the black track pins but I think the idea of having them the same colour as the sleepers is so that they blend in and are less obvious. Nowadays many modellers don't even like to see the raised heads (black or not) of track pins so they stick their track down with glue. My mother-in-law has extremely poor eyesight but she is able to do most fiddly close-up work with the aid of a good quality magnifying glass.
