The building is 4 studs wide, except for the black plates on the switch

Just reducing the height of the building--the best I can do is 6 bricks 2
plates high. Move the motor/eccentric assembly down a few plates and take
the 5 stud axle out of the lever and put in a 4.
Still works exactly the same otherwise--the eccentric mover grazes the top of
the #3 Technic angle backet at the bottom of the stroke, but seems to be
fine.

Hi Dave,
This is funny, I went to the same kind of problem and also tried to reduce the
width of the block very recently. Are we telepathic ? However, I started from Ed
McGlynn’s most recent proposal (http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=21826) and
shifted to a drastic modification leading to the same goal : reducing the block
to a 4 studs width. (And not 12 studs width as I wrote wrongly yesterday,
sorry).
Here is the Ldraw file of it.

My problem is that it lacks the “.dat” file of the ‘Technic 1 x 3 with 2 Axle
Holes and Pin’ (x33) part which is key to understand the mechanism. This part
fits at the bottom of the driving lever (8-stud axis) and goes directly into the
switch point stroke.
Hoping you’ll get the picture.
I like playing Lego overseas :-)
Philippe.
