I've used a strip of 1mm thick foamboard with two smaller pieces of 10mm foamboard to hold the track in place...
The foamboard is stapled together using a staple gun. The box is screwed onto the 10mm board. I've also taped the wire to the underside of the track and have a notch to seat the cable from the box to the underside of the track. I was going to use silicone sealant to attach the track to the foamboard underneath, but it is held perfectly tightly by the thicker board each side. That also means the track could be rotated 180-degrees (I have left enough slack wire in the box) to change the direction...
A little more testing and it's ready to go in a track
As this is for use on a temporary track, it is very compact and has just the one cable coming out of the module. On a permanent track, you'd want the box further from the track. It probably won't be a bad idea to place the appropriate lead-in border and barrier (C8233) to protect the box from oncoming cars. Just in case.
