I made my own by cutting a 10″ Fastrack exactly in half and installing pins in the Fastrack. You will need to drill out the plastic inside the Fastrack deep enough for it to accept the pins and using needle nose pliers, squeeze the Fstrack rails tightly around the pins. Hope that helps you.

As far as you question about the 151, 152 and 153 signals, they must connect to the track or use a light sensor accessory (available for Fastrack use). Using regular track, you have to create an insulated block to activate the signals. Creating your own blocks is simpler and cheaper.
