I got some flex track that I am using on my layout and cutting it is the only thing keeping me form getting it laid. I do not have one of those razor saws or whatever they are called. I do have several different hacksaw blades. That should work, no?

Hack saws are better for larger scale tracks. What you need is a pair of pliers or snips like this:

They will cut the rails of N scale track like a hot knife through butter, then you can take your file any clean up the cuts so everything is square.

Darn, the closest thing I have to that is plant snips. :ohwell: Just one more thing to put on my shopping list. :)
