[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker Yes, you CAn do it after, and YES it is a HUGE pain. And an even bigger pain if you slip up and wreck an installed turnout. If you have the choice, do it BEFORE. If you are using foam, you can mount them from the top, which is working out REALLY well for me so far. This site is where I got the idea: [url]http://www.pbase.com/tracktime/norcalf[/url]. If you have to do it after, here's a trick, it hink it was in MR. Drill DOWN from the top with a small drill that fits through the hole in the throwbar. Use that as a guide to drill the proper size hole up from the bottom, but use a depth stop on the drill bit so you don't drill right through the track. Like I said, a BIG pain if you slip up at this step. --Randy [/quote] A couple of questions. Can you use styrene instead of the PC board and can this method be used with Peco switch machnies? Or, if not, how is the best way to mount Peco switch machines when using 2" foam?: Thanks in advance for your help.
