I'm a novice , so if anyone can suggest how to hook up the Lionel Station 115 and Platform using Fast Track, I really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Wiring for tubular and Fastrack is the essentially the same.
Illumination only shortcut: No need to connect to track power - connect terminal 2 to your common, terminal 1 to accessory voltage.
The whole shebang: If you are looking to make use of the station to temporarily stop CONVENTIONAL OPERATED LOCOMOTIVES with EUNIT locked FORWARD, follow the diagram below with a few tweaks. Instead of fiber pins, use Lionel 6-12060 track sections to bake the isolated block, labeled "insulated section" in the diagram below. Connect terminal 1 to the center rail outside of the insulated section. Connect terminal 2 to common ground, and terminal 3 to the center rail within the insulated section.
The 6-12060 allows one to remove jumpers to isolate both the center and outside rail. Place enough straight in between two of them to accommodate the engines(s) to stop Here is what it looks like for an engine that would roll quite bit. If yours will stop almost immediately, then perhaps only a 10" or a 10" and 5" would be needed. Experiment with yours to find the length.
There are tabs underneath FasTrack that you can solder to or use .110 Quick disconnect female terminals.
