I am looking for a design where a ledge pop outs of a wall then the rails on top of it. So that when it is on the cavern can be crossed. (Next to a wall obviously)
Connect sticky pistons to both the rails AND the ledge. That should do the trick, if you power the pistons at the same time. Or do you want a seamelss design? That's a bit more challenging.
Well. I have one question. Do you want to be moving when the move the rails? Or are you going to be standing still? Because, if you're moving, it will be fairly hard to activate the pistons if you're moving. It really depends how you want to activate the pistons.
What I'm saying is... If you're moving, it is incredibly hard to flick a lever. But, if you're standing still, it may use a lot more redstone (granted, I'm not quite educated on how long his intended rail length is in this situation).
Hey. Just have a few command blocks with setblock commands... Then chain them together to place rails and blocks under them for just long enough to cross, then set the blocks back to 0 (air).
To go even further you could have it automatically do it for you (instead of a button) with a detector rail.

You may want to read my post while you still can, some of them have been randomly disappearing lately *cough*

Woah woah woah. You can make Command Block in SSP? Thought you couldn't do that.
Yes. You just have to spawn it in in via /give command (it's not in creative inv)... Sorry, I assumed that using creative was OK. But yeah, if you're doing it all in survival that the piston method is the only way.

No it would not be less time consuming. I know the commands (yes, they were added in the new snapshot). My way doesn't involve copy/pasting a ton of commands; it just involves placing pistons down.
It may just be me, but I'm pretty sure this is impossible...
this seems like it is fairly possible... just have the blocks of the ledge pop out first, and at the same time have the rails pop out... i haven't tried it but i cant see why it wouldn't work.

The rail itself is a total of 2000 blocks long for stage one and is at layer 10. It crosses numerous cavers etc so I want it to have the sections come out. Joint between bases on a multiplayer server.
I am so mad at the Sky fanboys who are like "ADD BUUUDDDER TWO MINCRFT CUZ BURDR Z SP ASWUM ND STUFZ BUDDERBUDDERBUDDER :D:D:D:D" that I am dedicating my signature to stopping them. I had gone into more depth, but the stupid signature limit stopped me. Oh well.

Can anyone help me with a design or link to one?
Thanks,

++, right? Well, I guess command blocks wouldn't work if you aren't playing the snapshot (not sure if they added the new commands in 1.6.4)

It is possible. I have seen it before but did not bookmark it as did not require it at the time.
Lever at this stage as a concept build - maybe later have it as a button T Flip Flop or BUD or activator/detector rail

Thanks, but whilst I have admin access on the server I want it to be with survival only items
Is this what you need?EDIT:Wait, you mean you want a ledge to pop out of the wall with the rails on it? Oh.
Yeah, thanks but I need the ledge too
