If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to drive IslandLine train from Ryde Esplanade to Brading – your dreams have been answered.
Someone called Hyperen has created a video using a railway simulator of the journey between Ryde Esplanade to Brading, with the view alternating between the driving position in the cab, inside the carriage and floating around in the air.
You might not recognise the paintwork on the outside of the train as it’s been rather poshed up, but the quality of rendering makes it look remarkably realistic both from inside the passenger compartment, looking out and the elevated views of the train passing through the Island’s countryside.
While inside the cab, the attention to detail even shows the speedometer dropping during the various part of the journey.
Grab yourself a cup of tea, expand the video to full screen, and make like a train driver!
Hyperen – you’ll see from their videos, they’re quite keen on trains.
