Needle nose work perfectly. Save your money. You can pinch the rail from the end just below the pin hole to reduce it's diameter. The further you slide the pliers onto the rail, the smaller the hole will be (so you can adjust for any track).
Plus you will also want to pinch the tab on the ties a little so they clamp the rails tighter. This keeps the rail from spreading once the pin is installed making for a very dependable joint.
