For Christmas last year I got my Son and Granddaughter a Polar Express Set. This year I am thinking about adding an accessory. Crossing gate or the classic gateman. I am not too familiar with Fast Track. I myself run on old school tubular track and have many control rail sections on my layout for signals. Can a standard section of fast track be converted to a control rail track section with insulated pins ? - Or is it necessary to buy the Fast Track Accessory Activator #6-81317 ? Seams silly to me to have to buy a extra track section when the plastic road bed isolates the outside rails. I understand that each track section has a connector between outside rails that can be easily removed. Are there fiber pins for Fast Track like the fiber pins for tubular track ? Could I make a control rail just by cutting the rail with a cut-off disk with a rotary tool ?
