This is a side view model of the mine shaft. note that the button's must be placed on blocks that have a glowing (on) Redstone torch on top, clicking the button will turn off the torch for 1 second and send the cycle up to the top and chance the direction of the elevator. When stopping the elevator Sticky Pistons are used to stop the elevator on its way down the mine shaft, ether from dropping an item down the small shaft onto a wooden foot plate or hopping off the elevator onto a foot plate located on the entrance side of the elevator. This works well for loading mine carts onto the elevator.
