Reply to "MTH 90-Degree Crossing Design Flaw?"

I just filed the rail as LDBennett suggested to isolate the switch.  It was a little tricky to get at the base of the rail because of the plastic tab. So, I added a tiny piece of electrical tape at the base of the rail. Maybe there's a better way (Dremel tool?) but all I have are mini-files.  The triangular ones work well for filing track because they are stiff.

 

Here are pictures for future reference.  Thanks again everyone.
