I recently ordered 3 operating tracks and when I went to use them only 1 actually worked. On one the magnet didn't work and on the other the operating tracks wouldn't work on any solenoid operated cars. The track would however operate a motorized car such as an mth dump car. It was as if the voltage was being cut off somehow. I sent the two back and got 2 new ones. Again 1 worked and the other would not operate any solenoid cars (such as a 3469 or milk car). I sent that one back and am waiting on a replacement. Seems like a qc problem to me.  Anyone had this issue? Modeltrains dot com is awesome to work with though.

My experience with Fastrack operating sections has been mostly negative.  I have two uncoupling sections and one operating track section.  They don't fire consistently, in spite of being placed in flat, well-powered locations.

 

When my layout gets a renovation, they'll all be removed, as will all my lighted bumpers, which have also been an issue.  Got nothing bad to say about Fastrack remote switches, though--never had a single problem there. 

 

Good luck getting things straightened out.
