Micro Engineering (255-48102) | Light-Duty Rail Nipper

This light-duty rail nipper is a must-have tool for modelers working with smaller rail sizes, giving you precise, smooth cuts without crushing or deforming the rail.

Designed specifically for rails up to Code 70, it’s perfect for HO branch lines, N scale layouts, and any finer rail applications where accuracy matters.

Whether you're fitting flex track, trimming sections for tight spaces, or fine-tuning a yard, having the right tool makes all the difference. A proper rail nipper helps ensure tight joints, smooth operation, and fewer derailments.

Product Details

• Designed for precision – makes clean, controlled cuts on lighter rail
• Ideal for Code 70 and smaller – perfect for detailed layouts and secondary lines
• Reduces filing time – cleaner cuts mean less cleanup and better rail joints
• Comfortable grip – easy to handle for repeated use during track installation

⚠️ Pro Tip

Use the flat side of the nipper on the “keep” side of your cut for the cleanest edge—and save yourself extra filing time.
