In my admitedly limited experience pinned track wont stay in same place
forever. So you file it now and then it moves and requires further
modification or replacement. So recon first glue it as flat as possible then
see if filing required.

The best action however, is as said, for you to get rid of Hornby points, at
the same time move up a radius so more engines can use the fiddle yard. Pin
new track, play with it, glue new track, remove pins (if you want to).

Cheers,
Simon
