Jeff,

That was what I was thinking too. Maybe use a small hole saw and be gentle
as you drill up.

Good luck Ed, I'm installing turnouts right now myself... N Scale of
course!

Drill a tiny pilot hole down through that tiny hole in the throwbar.
Center the drill on that hole and drill upward very carefully, maybe
even a hand drill, or if you can limit the depth of the drilling. There
are gadgets to help with this, or maybe even a thick rubber band
wrapped around the drill.
Good luck!

And just when I was so proud of myself for finishing the trackwork I
went to install my tortise switch machines.

Only the directions (and some youtube videos) say to "drill a 3/8" hole
FROM THE TOP" to install. Please don't tell me that I have to rip up
all those switches...is there a way to work around the inability to
plan ahead?
