I am going to use Peco turnouts on foam roadbed. I plan to hand throw all switches. I read that it is helpful to place a thin plastic sheet under the throw bars to add in ease of movement. I was going to drill a 1/2 inch hole under the turnout track center throw before laying down in case I ever changed my mind and wanted to motorize it.
Has anyone found it helpful to add a plastic shim under the throw to ease movement? I do not plan to ballast any where close around the area . I seems it might push up more on the throw bar..
Thank you all.
