Can this switchman be used with Fastrack and if so, which track is needed to operate it? If it can't be used with Fastrack, what will activate it on tubular track?

You can use a short piece of track from the 1 3/4 inch fitter included with fastrack 036 switches, insulate one outer rail and wire to that rail. Should work fine, it will make the flagman wave his arm. When new it included a special 1045c contactor.
Woops, I forgot this accessory the man moved forward and is not stationary. A insulated rail will work fine with fastrack. MPC reissued it with a 153c contactor.
Fastrack makes a 12029 insulated track section that operates a 252 crossing gate. Will this same unit operate the switchman?
It will work just fine.
