Got it now, except 17 across: Train that changes tracks (5) ?OINT - I can only think of point?????
Now for the approximate shape, mine looks like it has been squashed by a very heavy vehicle - it's nowhere near that shape I hoped for. Has anyone got a perfect shape?
Thanks in advance

Yes, Train - just a double definition , train a gun on someone, point that switches tracks. I didn't think the shape was totally convincing, but on an earlier thread there's a hint as how to make it a little better...

Thank you never a crossword.
My shape is three letters on top line, three letters on second line (to the right) and below that one letter below the first letter of the second line - is that correct????

Ripper, my shape is a little different - two rows of three letters, one directly below the other, and a single letter underneath these, with the highlighted letter slap in the middle.

You're welcome, Ripper. Glad you're all done now. PS You'll need more than a 24 A to buy me a drink, even my preferred glass of Coke!
