The train travels from a wooded area about 1 mile prior to the Glenfinnan Viaduct, it then proceeds over the viaduct onwards to Glenfinnan Station and beyond, before re-spawning back at the wooded area. The total track length is about 3 miles.
*Please note that the Train is an animation, and therefore is NOT controllable in-sim*
World Update 3 (UK & Ireland) scenery must be installed for the scenery to show correctly.
Along with the already included Glenfinnan Viaduct POI, I have added POI markers at the Glenfinnan Monument, and Glenfinnan Railway Station.

What a brilliant piece of work - a fully animated train within a scenery package this must be a first. The added POIs and the fantastic sounds embedded within the scenery make this a really atmospheric place to visit. It works as a real world location as well as for those visiting to take a close up look at where some elements of the Harry Potter Films were shot - here's a fun video of the latter https://youtu.be/U97eK_Ob4dY
