Is there a DHR tank available for MSTS?

Yes.
See

However you may notice it has some short comings - so If I were you I'd watch this space.

Thanks guys
I'm going to the event - I assume anyone can get in on the 30th? I haveall the permits and things for Boston Lodge
I've been watching the FR webcam for the last few minutes - and have just seen the DHR tank shunting the coaches and going back to Boston Lodge - nice!

It was actually going on another trip to Bleunau.
when I saw its size compared to Keveins Hunslet tanks I deleted it, didn't look right
It's VERY big in real life even though it looks small!

I haven't heard anything about Merddin Emrys, i would expect the Fr would make an announcement. I haven't seen it on the webcam but that doesn't mean it hasn't been on other parts of the line BL for example, perhaps someone who is nearer thet railway will know??

What I mean, is that the model is too small, Its smaller than Kevin's Britomart model so really does not look right!
I'll post a screenie when I can find one

Kevin's Britomart model!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you'll find I made that model.
Merddin will not be working at the gala it isn't physically possible to finish the top end bogie in time. I will appaer in the line up at Harbour Station even if it's only got one power bogie wiht the other end on an ambulance bogie. They are hoping to have 2 power bogies under the engine though.
The DHR engine should be a simalar size to Linda & Blanche people always go on about how simallar they are.

Sorry Tim, I forgot that you'd also done some FfR models.
Anyway, I just re-downloaded Sherpa (the Darj Tank from that Web site) and took some screenies of it with Lilla, Britomart and my Thion reskin and here's the best one just to show how small the model actually is
