Have most of y new layout in Fastrack, and have a zoo car. A giraffe car. Is there a tell tale to tweak the car in Fastrack? I haven't found one. Has anyone "modded" Fastrack to operate those type cars?
 
I am not exactly sure of the setup, but I would suggest to mount the telltale that came with the car on a block of wood painted a concrete color.

So the tell-tale is supposed to make the giraffe duck to go under a bridge or into a tunnel?

Here is a fellow that made his own.
