Vintage GBC train

This train module uses the core mechanisms of the "Simple GBC Train (feat. 7722)" by NonsenseWars. Loader and unloader have been modified and the cars lowered. Each car has it's own loader component and balls are lifted by a ball pump in the style of the Brickworld 2018 workshop module. followed by a simple splitter that distributes the balls evenly between both silos/cars to max out transport capacity. The unloader uses a wide conveyor and two ramps to bring balls back up to 10 bricks high. The train is usually running back and forth (though a loop is possible) on vintage blue tracks and is reversed using a 4.5V battery box swtich triggered by the red poles from 7722.

This module was initially built as a return module for s stripped layout, where the train was running behind the other modules, bringing the balls back to the beginning of the GBC track.

The module is powered by 2 Power Functions M motors for the loader and unloader and a 4,5 V train motor for the loco.
