Possible solution: place a piece of strip styrene over the throw rod tie, like a splint, then drill holes at both ends of the styrene strip into the tie. Insert short sections of styrene rod into the holes with a tight, friction fit. If necessary, secure the rods to the strip with styrene glue. Drill a hole in the styrene strip for the switch machine connection.
