Is it possible to make Lionel Remote Control FasTrack switches route power? I know that you can do that for HO. The way I have it set up, it’s a passing siding, but part of it is curved so I can’t use a block section. Can anyone help?
Are you saying that you can’t isolate the siding because you can’t put the Lionel track section with gaps in the rails at the end of it? The only gap you should need is in the center rail. Can’t you simply cut a gap into the rail?
Sorry, I want to make the switch at either end of a passing siding I have on my layout. A FasTrack block section is a 5" straight with a gap in the center rail. I can’t put a block section of track in one place because directly next to the switch, the track needs to be curved and block sections are straight so if I put a block section after the curve, the whole siding won’t be insulated.
Actually, it would help if someone knew how to take the metal pin out of a FasTrack track section and insert some sort of insulating material.
