Thanks everyone for the input.

Here's the current plan:

Point-of-switch centered over wide PC-board headblock, with stops soldered outside the rails (a la Wolfgang Dudley).

Narrow (and thin) PC-board gauging ties 1 and 3 tie-gaps back with soldered rail joiners.
Plastic faux gauge rods glued between each pair of rail joiners; joiners and rods painted black.
Rest of the gauge ties hidden by covering with thin layer of dirt (their tops are the thickness of a rail joiner below the adjacent tie tops).

No vertical location.

Still a couple of weeks away, but I'll let you know how I get on when the time comes....

Cheers,
Jeff.
