ok so this is what we have been working on first we are trying to compact parts of the station as much as possible, then we thought we would try to add every extra possible. so we have a 8 track switch station with indicator lights for selected track output. loading and unloading platform w cart magazine, cart recycle, call cart button and station auto departure booster. complete with indicator light for all switches, showing carts in magazine and blinking lights to indicate prepare for departure.
for now this is just the skeleton no walls or deco but as of 5 mins ago loadingunloading dock mechanics r done and work perfect 1 out of every 15 cart calls or so the cart misses the button but easy fix just bump it back to position and on ur way
p.s. we have another friend working on daisy chaining the 8 track switch station to others to make 16, 32 , etc.. switch stations. (i know its redonculus but oh well its fun!! )
UPDATE 12-8- well we have successfully shrunk the loadingunloading dock down by bout 6 rows vertically and are now finishing the return section very soon it will be done, but i must say this shit is a jigsaw puzzle from hell.
12-9- Teh FINISHED. after much rebuilding, compressing and frustration with tracks connecting improperly the station is done i will post the schematic tomorrow pm for now some new pics.
12-10 updated the schematic squared up the outside for easier placement, and inter and exterior deco, and engine room is cleaned up drastically. also today we found far more efficient way of making circuits so another compression of the whole thing is already started.

Additional Notes
this project is a compilation of boosters from bobs minecart vids , the 8 track switch station is an import made by zorac, and the rest by myself and Minionofcthulhu(aka {ROC}Macaroni )UPDATE 12-8- well we have successfully shrunk the loadingunloading dock down by bout 6 rows vertically and are now finishing the return section very soon it will be done, but i must say this shit is a jigsaw puzzle from hell.
