The length of the track is practically unlimited. You can add as many switches as you want, only your fantasy limits the complexity. Put engines and wagons on the built track and just push them with your finger, and they start to move. They will travel the prepared track and stop automatically at the placed stations. If a train reaches and end of the track, it will stop, and move backward after a few seconds.
