O-gauge Electrical Question

Al has a question on O-gauge. Please comment below if you can help him.
I am building my first permanent highrail layout using an MTH Digital Command System ( Proto 2.0 ) linked via a star pattern power distribution network with Gargraves track. 
1. How do I wire Lionel and Z-stuff signals without having to use the bulky under track contacts?
2. What is the best way to divide the track plan into electrically isolated blocks ? I cannot seem to find any Gargraves nonconductive track pins anywhere.

Many thanks to anyone that can help.
