Minecart magazine overflow solution

A solution to prevent block ups when a cart magazine is full. This simple system can be hooked up to more magazines, but it can also be used to send the carts somewhere else, to another station for example to refill it's magazine.

just curious, couldn't you make that overflow track lead away from the magazine, loop around and go back into the loader? just to keep the maximum amount of minecarts in the system?

@novantha1 Yes that would be possible, basically this is only a way to catch minecarts that don't fit in the magazine anymore. What you do with those minecarts is up to you, you can loop them back, you can direct them to another magazine, you can even send them to another station assuming you have a system with multiple stations.

btw, since the booster glitch I use here has been fixed you'll have to figure out if this system also works with powered rails (or maybe pistons or something).

@CyberneticSoldier couldn't you put the overflow track on a downhill slope? then you wouldn't need the boosters, but carts can still give eachother momentum if on the same track correct? you could use that if you were on a limit of vertical space, even if you couldn't push the cart that far

@novantha1 Well I've been testing with a lot of minecart stuff today and I figured out a new way to get rid of the overflow. It's similar to this system, but I will make a video of it soon to show it and some other minecart related things I found out. I would explain it here, but in words it takes so many while a video can show it in 10 seconds xD

Would be cool to build a second magazine and from which the system will draw first if the first on is full.
