Did you consider using a booster of some sort to make a train of storage minecarts going around a track?

Use the uphill water glitch and have 4 areas, each turn changes level, two adjacent are at, lets say, height 67, and the other two adjacent to eachother are, lets say, 68. It will get the job done.

Your picture won't load for me Abra, it says bandwidth exceeded :sad.gif:

I did consider using minecarts, but I want it to be moving all the time and not take up a whole lot of space. The water is also prettier and much slower, minecarts tend to move pretty fast and I wanted things to move slowly by, like a real luggage return.

No idea whether it works for items, but:

And it will move an item all the way around? That is a really neat design! I don't think I can use it for my purposes, but I bet I'll be able to come up with something for it :wink.gif:

I've created a similar design a few months ago, but to my dismay found that items still despawn after 5 minutes, even when in motion. I originally attempted it in order to try an automatic storage system: The item would fall in to the loop, and be carried around forever, hoping that if they were moving, they would stay.
After many tries, I succeeded, but, as I said, the items despawn. Does anyone else know of a way of keeping items from dissapearing after 5 minutes?
