Using aluminium angle is an easy way of getting everything lined up easily. Cut 3inch lengths of 1 inch angle if modelling in OO or you can go smaller, I use 15mm in EM. Gauge to your track and fix down with packing to rail height. You can then screw suitable lengths of the chosen angle to MDF backing and pack up to the same height as the rails. Use small bulldog clips to align and conduct current.
Remember a lot of aluminium is anodized and this coating will have to be removed as it's an insulator.

Good luck, it works for me and a lot of friends.
