Drop of Darjeeling anyone?

I hope to be uploading this in the next week or so.
I was always fascinated by the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, but had put it to the back of my mind. The recent excellent BBC Indian Hill Railways revived my interest. So here is a loco that I hope may eventually have a suitable route to run on. It has a custom cab and will come with coaches. At the moment you will be able to run it on the Talyllyn or Phorum narrow gauge (you won't notice the 3 inches difference in gauge!).
I have DEM'd the first part of the DHR route, but laid no track (anyone know how to get low lying clouds to float round the station?). So I'm not promising there will ever be a route, considering my previous attempts at route building came to nothing. Most of my modelling at the moment involves this railway, with its station signs made up of a red circle with a blue line through it and another network with a similar totem. Although one is known as the rooftop of the world and the other is very much the opposite!
Cheers
Richard

There's a Trainz version of the DHR which, frankly, is a work of sheer art and genius, which took the creators several long years to create.
It would be nice to see a RW version, though a test track for the gradients might be advisable first to ensure the physics engine can cope with with the extreme inclines.

Such an attractive hunslet. Well done Richard and thankyou in advance for the upcoming upload.
EDIT: Come to think of it, it isn't that suprising that it looks like a long, saddle-tanked version of the hunslet that has been modeled by Kevin.
Regards
Chris

Thanks again for this great loco
