I have never used this track, but from the pictures I've seen, you're probably going to have to cut through the road bed tabs to do it. If you can't slide the railjoiners far enough, you'll have to cut them also. The replacement switch will have to likewise have its tabs cut and may have to use half length joiners, depending on how far you can slide them along the rail. Otherwise you'll have to unspike enough trak to dis-assemble it.
Good luck
Paul
If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way.

is there a electric uncoupler (like the ones Lionel has) in HO? instead of using those magnets? And if there is does anyone know how they are installed? Thanks Wayne

The only electric uncoupler for HO that I know of is the Kadee electromagnetic uncoupler. It works well, but has to be mounted under the track through a hole in the roadbed or tabletop.
