You use what looks like a compass except it has a point on each leg. Can't say the name but I have had one for 60 years. These were very common in tool and die work years ago. You can rig a compass (with a needle) instead of lead). You prick both spots where you will drill.

I guess getting engine 316 was one good trick, having the ore train cross over our excursion train was another. On the whole, he did a fine job. I don't recall exactly how I drilled out for the ladders, it was a time ago. A trick I have used is put a spot of paint on the ends of the sprue and then set it on the car or a template. a bit easier that trying to drill by eyeball. I would chat more but I have a turnout to finish.
