Drill a tiny pilot hole down through that tiny hole in the throwbar.
Center the drill on that hole and drill upward very carefully, maybe 
even a hand drill, or if you can limit the depth of the drilling. There 
are gadgets to help with this, or maybe even a thick rubber band 
wrapped around the drill.
Good luck!

And just when I was so proud of myself for finishing the trackwork I 
went to install my tortise switch machines.
 
Only the directions (and some youtube videos) say to "drill a 3/8" hole 
 FROM THE TOP" to install.  Please don't tell me that I have to rip up 
all those switches...is there a way to work around the inability to 
plan ahead?
