Skyrail Switch for 1.5

This is the raw testing device for my new 1.5 sky rail switch. The Rails are placed on one side (or both) of the chest on the same level as the block the chest sits on. So the blocks the rail sits on will hide the first bit of redstone and the repeater.

The redstone completely hidden, and the rest all on one level below the track system (3 block thick station, perfect for a SkyRail.

How it works... The trap chest signal feeds a 'comparitor 'fade-out' sustainer circuit, which then feeds to the required track switch (redstone torch on right)

The 1.5 'ultimate rail transit system' you tube videos also use trapped chests places directly above the rail (not required to be above rail) and used pistons to send signal down, or as part of the pulse sustainer. None of that is needed, just a chest on the side of the rail one block higher than the rails and accessible as you approach in a minecart. Chest can be anywhere from 5 to 12 blocks from the track switch (8 is good distance)
