On the subject of loose heel switches, do UK (GWR, etc.) prototypes have heel blocks? As per the picture below.
If so, then a simple tiny etch for modelling those solves both the reliable pivot and the electrical connection issues. Permanently!
I use that technique for all my US style FB rail turnouts and I believe the same method (and even the same parts) should work for BH rails. Just the part of the etch on the bottom right of the picture does the job.
I can send a sample in an envelope if any one would like to check it out and report back to the forum.

Re: loose heel switches - heel blocks?
The answer, for the most part is No. Most UK pivot heel designs use chairs rather than blocks in that style.
