THird solution. Since you have to replace the crossing anyway, make sure the one you get is a DC one that's got insulated frogs. THey shouldn't be too hard to find at a hobby shop. And they would eliminate the electrical issues you now have.

Oh for the good old days when nobody had proprietary roadbed track systems and everybody's track could be mixed and matched. Life was so much simpler then.......

It seems like it might work but I have to question whether you are just chasing ever more expensive and cumbersome solutions to what should be a simple problem. I mean, an Atlas crossing would solve all your problems at less than half the cost.'

You're absolutely right. I forgot the KISS principle.
