Git Gud 050 - Making transfer tracks!

Hey everyone!

Something which you can find on most real rollercoasters that have more than one train is a transfer track! A transfer track is a part of a track which can slide, rotate, move up or move down, in order to guide a rollercoaster train into a storage track! Rollercoasters often don't run at full capacity, so then the unused trains will simply be stored at the storage track, where they are not in the way. Quite often there's also a little workshop where the trains can be inspected and maintained. 

Most newer players will not bother with transfer tracks, but when you start building your coasters in more realistic ways, you will probably want to build one of these in your layout! There's several ways to make a transfer track; some coasters have a transfer track where a curved piece of track slides in the way so a train can be guided to a new track. In some other coasters the train will be stopped on a piece of track which then slides towards the storage track. I have also seen several rides which use a lift system, or even some rides which use a turntable. There's lot of possiblities!
