It's about 3 years since the release of 'Clarendon' for BVE - thought it was about time it underwent a 'refresh' so work is now in progress (at my normal slow rate!!); heres a couple of screenies from the refreshed route.
Rebuilding Hampsford yard was started before the advent of openBVE so some detail was sacrificed in the textures.

 This scene at the yard end again reflects the BVE4 origins of the route although some higher detail vegetation is used here.

 Since the original release of the route, the area around Stonebury has undergone a complete rebuild, the only original feature remaining is the road texture. The external views available in openBVE make it worthwhile extending scenery away from the immediate track vicinity.

View approaching Stonebury - note the improved tree textures; high levels of detail may be added in openBVE without an unacceptable loss of frame rates.

 A new bridge just before Dorris tunnel replaces the two previous bland and unrealistic structures

The new foot crossing at Dorris Junction would be an ideal location for a bit of fotting!

 Joining the high speed main line from the branch on a bend shows the effect of cant (superelevation).

 The road visible on the approach to Dorris Cross was going to become smoothly curved using the same principles as for rails....this scene would have looked a lot better with a short straight inserted where the direction changes.
