It may be interest to note that the idea of an imaginary line to Aldbourne is not new. There is (and has been for many years) an exhibition layout that bears the name "Aldbourne". It is the work of my good friend Adrian Ponting in OO9 and indeed portrays a fictional narrow gauge line serving the Wiltshire village of that name.
The layout can be seen here on the web.

Adrian published an article in Railway Modeller, April 2011, pp. 282-287 in which he explained that in his imagination the line ran from Marlborough eastwards along the Kennet Valley to Ramsbury and then northwards to Aldbourne.
