fasttracks grade crossing question?

If you have the 5" track sections with insulated control rails that go on both sides of the crossing gate section backwards, you will get constant power to the gate and it will stay down. When you hit the direction button, you are cutting this power and the gates will go up. Underneath the crossing section, it should be marked "insulated side". This is how you tell which way the 5" insulated track sections are inserted.

Ok mine only came with one section of 10" straight track.  Was it supposed to come with something else.  What came originally in the package, and do they sell insulated track sections seperately?

Ok I just got a grade crossing today.  Box says that one crossing does not work.  Here is what I have.  Lights work, Bell works, and when you hit the direction button both gates go up then immediately down again.  Now not ever having seen one work how is it supposed to opperate.  I took one gate motor off and when the direction button is pushed the gate would stay up until you did the direction button again. 

Any thoughts or help or even a video would be appreciated
