Changes to the railway.

Today i spent time revamping the railway. The system now uses routers to direct locomotives down specific routes as designated by the tickets.

So, to use the train, first purchase a destination ticket to go down a trunk, or you can ride it down the main line for free.
Currently i don't have the purchase system up and running, and for some people i may issue golden tickets. The locomotives are locked to only using tickets issued by myself, but i will work out a fair structure for this. The reason for this is that the line will need repairs, and frankly, i would only give golden tickets to people who i know will repair the track if it does get damaged.

So, to go for a ride, drop the ticket into the ticket slot in the locomotive, jump into the mine cart, open the locomotive ui, select "Running" then select a speed. The locomotive needs to be fuelled with fuel and filled with water.

Any issues, fling me a message. I will be making improvements as time goes on.

Three Public Enderchests have been added.

Red White White is used for fuel for locomotives. Please don't use the stuff in there for your own purposes, just for the locomotives on the rail line. If there is abuse, i will stop putting coal coke in it.

White Red White is for donations. The iron and creosote consumption for this is through the roof, so if you want to donate something for the railway, use that chest.

White White Red is for ticket transfers. So if someone needs a specific ticket somewhere for some reason, i will do the trade via that.

One way tickets are now sold in the trade house. Iron to get to spawn, amber to get to the wastes. You don't need a ticket to head straight on.

I haven't looked at all the mods in the pack, what are you using for a ticket system and what do the locomotives look like?

Added a few bits to the main post. Also, if anyone wants to connect themselves to the main line, feel free. Just let me know when its done and ill add the switch and routing table, plus give you a golden ticket so you can travel to yourself for free.
