Fishplate Insert Tool - OO Gauge

Streamline track work and get perfect joints every time with the OO-Gauge Fishplate Insert Tool — engineered specifically for model railway enthusiasts who demand precision, speed, and reliability.

Why this tool matters

• Eliminates frustrating fiddly work: The compact, purpose-built design holds fishplates securely and aligns them precisely with rail ends so you can insert them without constant adjustments or damaged sleepers.

• Saves time on layout construction and maintenance: Rapid insertion reduces the time spent on each joint, letting you focus on building and operating rather than wrestling with tiny parts.

• Improves electrical and mechanical reliability: Properly seated fishplates provide consistent contact and cleaner joins, reducing poor connections and bumps along the rails.

Key features

• Soft-jaw contact surfaces: Non-marring pads prevent scratching or crushing rail finishes and sleeper details.

• Compact, durable construction: Small enough to use in tight locations and robust enough for long-term hobby use.

• Universal OO-gauge compatibility: Designed to accommodate the common rail sizes and fishplate types used in OO model railway systems.

Who benefits

• New modellers: Makes an intimidating task simple and reduces the learning curve.

• Experienced hobbyists: Speeds assembly and maintenance, improving workflow and layout quality.

• Layout builders and clubs: Ideal for repetitive work on large sections of track or during public demonstrations and shows.

Use cases
