Point levers

[Bandit Mick]

Could anyone please tell me the dimensions of the base plate of a model oo gauge point lever please. Not the lever itself, just the wooden or metal thingy the lever works from. I am having to make two bases to accommodate two wire in tube wires that I have had to site coming out of the baseboard surface as opposed to coming out of the edge of the baseboard. Sorry about the c**p explanation and terminology!

Thanks Brian - very interesting. I suppose I could guess the dimensions - so long as it looks right it won’t matter. With some modelling I’ve done I’ve tried to scale accurately yet the finished model didn’t look right so I’ve relied on eye.

Correct Mick, use the track as a scale guide.
