Yup. I was looking at something like that. LION used copper colored nails: drive them through the insulating bead, and then solder a rail to the top of them. That’s all it really needs unless you really want the protection board as well, and that could have been done with a thin strip of styrene affixed to brackets of some sort.
But the LION has 1000’ of track, and did not want to go through the expense of buying that much rail material. As it turns out it is very doable if you use 1/16" welding rod for your third rail. That stuff is CHEAP! But its round. If you can ignore that, fine, if not you can sand it down after it is installed. Had this come to my consciousness before I started with what I did, I might have used that instead. Maybe I can still do it in signature places where people can oooh and aaah at it.
