Absolutely brilliant Ben. I lived In Hyde from 1958 to 1966 and sometimes went by train from Fordingbridge to school in Salisbury. This is so realistic and has brought back some fond memories. Thank you.

Brilliantly done Ben. Great attention to detail and plenty of AI passing trains. I know how long it takes to create something like that. I once had TS and got great enjoyment in creating routes . Nowadays i have a laptop which is not powerful enough to run the simulator and I really miss tnose days.

Superb video and route I actually lived on the "line" in the 1970's south of Downton when they had demolished the embankment and built new houses at the end of a housing close. Brings back wonderful memories of the time when we had our first child, so thank you Ben🙂

This is so beautiful. Much love has gone into the making of this masterpiece. The music is so evocative (especially the wistful piece for oboe at the beginning). I was born in Bournemouth in 1957, but never got to travel on the train to Salisbury. However, I do remember visiting the derelict station at Breamore when I was a teenager. How good to know that it has been lovingly restored.

This is a great video, thanks for the upload. I walked this route yesterday and it puts a new angle on it! The Downton tunnel is no more.

Thanks. Looking on Google Earth you can just make out a change in the colour of the ground where the tunnel approach cuttings were.

This is marvellous Ben, many thanks. I live in Verwood and I would LOVE to see the rest of the route. Were you thinking, per chance, of covering Wimborne to Fordingbridge at any time? I would love to see that. Best wishes

Thanks, I'm currently working on my epic Vale of Neath Railway route! But one day it would be nice to recreate the line South from Fordingbridge.

thank you for making this, live next to Downton and been fascinated at how the old railway operated around here, shame there is essentially nothing left of it now although I hear the platform is in someone's back garden

@TIMELORD327 I'm in America at the moment. The link to the file should still work, it's at the bottom of the video description. If you get an error when it loads. Press F2, then save. It should work then? I'll try and edit out the problem, when I return in a few weeks.
