Cool, I was working on one of these too.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=5293
I did mine a little differently. By replacing the bogie plate with a 2x2
plate with a pin out the top, the 1x2 plates with the center bump could be
placed in the groove part of the train wheels. This means the height of the
dummy motor can be the same as the real motor. You can also match the
locations of a coupler mounted on the motor.
The problem is the pin on the 2x2 plate is longer then the one on the bogie
plate. This means an extra plate height of clearance is needed for it in the
interior of the train.
The dummy I made is a little longer then the actual motor. It looks better
on the model I'm building this way. I'm not sure its possible to make the
length exactly same, or account for those odd clippy things.

ps. before you call me one I already know I spelt dummy wrong on brickshelf.
