I've used a radial arm saw and it cuts thru the track and plastic like butter and gives a good straight cut for joining together. A touch of solder on the rails or short pieces of wire underneath and you're good to go. I have done this several times to make odd length pieces and it worked out well.
Yes, I've cut Realtrax too.

normally i'd break off with a tubular crack, but your new i'll cut you some slack, j/k
That is a good question and one of the fast track guys will chime in here, i just wanted to say welcome. I am kinda curious myself. Not sure if it can be done, being plastic and all, if it was tubular i think it could be done by cutting the track, but fast trasck is differant!
