NewForest Route V3

Scenario

New Forest features the Bournemouth UK railway line in the 1950s and attempts to recreate the 1950s network timetable using the Timetable Mode in Open Rails. V3 extends from Basingstoke to Weymouth and current work on V4 expands from Woking to Salisbury. Expect much incomplete scenery. Today the Route is known as the SouthWestern mainline.

For details of the route, please read Background.md

The route is a work in progress and some non-fatal errors exist, which will gradually be reduced. Some errors are an MSTS legacy, and must be tolerated. Recent expansion covers Woking- Salisbury and much incomplete scenery is to be expected in these areas

Compatibility

This content is compatible with Open Rails v1.5, 1.4 (and not with MSTS). The content is stand-alone and only needs an Open Rails installation. Recent unstable versions of open rails recommended or the ORNYMG branch. Keep separate from any existing MSTS install The New Forest route is demanding of computer reources. Use 64bit if available.

Installing

Highly Recommended: Follow these instructions to benefit from using Git. Warning. the Route is nearly 20Gb on disk. The photo real ground textures, and the full trainset explain the large size, but I believe users will agree the benefits. Do not use the zip: The large route size will result in an incomplete download . Best to download or clone via Github desktop. You will also then get the frequent updates Point open rails at where ever you downloaded the route. Options/content/ installation profile/ add
