I have a question for a very novice modder....

Let's just say... someone wanted to cut some Lego train track... what fairly
common, and inexpensive tool could an novice with a limited tool
selection/budget to attempt said mod?

There's probably a better way for the LEGO track, but I do know that there is a
small saw-thingy that you can get at model railroad/hobby stores for cutting
model railroad track. They're really sharp and have really small fine teeth. I
can't imagine them being that expensive. I don't know how it would handle the
plastic LEGO tie part of the track, though.

I think that's the ATLAS Saw

It's been around for probably 30 years and it's a good thing... works on metal
(slowly) or plastic...

about 3 bucks USD or less.
