I have a lot of Peco switches on my layout. My subroadbed is plywood. I use the ^^hole on the subroadbed ^^ method only in switches beeing out of sight, since is very unrealistic ( and complicated with ballast to) Normally I cut a piece of wood of aprox 4 cm by 8 cm and 1cm width. I make a hole of 1 cm diameter and attach the swich machine to the piece of wood using small screws To do so, I need to bend the legs normally used to attach the switch machines in the ^^ hole on the subroadbed method^^. The drive pin goes trhu the hole At this moment I solder the wires to the <br /> machine. Then I make another 1 cm diameter hole on the subroadbed and the roadbed, pass the drive pin terhu it and thru the small hole in the tie bar. Last step is to attach the piece of wood to the subroadbed with a pair of screws. <br />Sorry for using centimeters, but I live in a country with metric system. 2.5 cm are equal to 1 inch <br />Guillermo
