The Virtual Village v1.2 is an internet-based feature that lets you build your own 3D model village, whilst signalling trains through the station. Based on Bekonscot, the structures are of 1930s English appearance, and the trains are exact replicas of the real ones! You need Macromedia's FLASHplayer to use or view the Virtual Village.
