Hello
You could hinge the switch on a loose heeled turnout with a nut soldered to the underside of the sleeper and bolt through from the top. Then solder the switch to the top of the bolt. There’s abit more detail on my post on Templot Forum Track Building Yeovil Pen Mill in EM.
Kind regards
Andrew
Absolutely.
Another possibility is to use a Brook-Smith-style rivet in the timber at the heel of the switch, and solder the switch rail to that.
