Not to my knowledge, although I am doing Bicester Military Railway.

It would be interesting, so long as you can sort out the continuous 'main line' loop problem. Longmoor joined two separate 'main lines', and had plenty of stations for its internal passenger services, but the sidings and stuff was restricted to a few locations.

I would be willing to have a go if someone can supply me with track diagrams, photos and information as i have passed the Didcot route on to someone else who wished to have a go at doing the scenery.

There's superb book on it in the university library, published in 1974, I'll get it out again, there's diagrams and pictures abounds in it!

Also it has details of the NG stuff that was there- 2 gauge route in 1!

*BUMP*

Found some information about the Longmoor Military Railway, thought it should go in a current thread.

Did anything come of this idea ? I have many track plans from the offical book, plus a video (B&W) taken on the last public open day in 1969. I would love to see a version of this railway, any chance this could join the LSE or the Dorset Coast CD, then you could run a through train from Bordon to Liss as in pre 1969 ! or cant you add to an existing track system ???
