Vale of Rheidol Railway for Trainz?

No offense, but if that doesn't sound like something out of LOTR, then I don't know what does!

Definitely no VOR, I've quadruple checked everywhere for all UK NG lines. It's one that needs doing, along with the Lynton and Barnstaple (Was started but seems to have been abandoned), Welshpool and Llanfair, Southwold, Corris (the original) and Leek & Manifold and a proper representation of The isle of Man, which I'm thinking about, made a dem in Microdem for the whole Island, which I may do when I have finished the Combined Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland and no one else has taken up the challenge, The Ashover I believe is being done?
VOR or W&L would both make good projects for a ng route, surprised they haven't been done even roughly in the 10 years ensuing since Trainz launched.
My own "ng" bug is rather further east looking at a couple of the Russian forest railways I mentioned in another thread. Both are fairly lengthy routes ( >60km)so it would be unlikely to be before next year before the UK ones move up in the "maybe to do" list, bearing in mind I also wanted to tackle Jersey and Guernsey.

"Gimmie Pig" trolling is not going to encourage anyone with an interest in creating the line to rush out and start on it.
If you're that desperate for the VOR, I did do a version for Railworks which is hosted at UKTS, but as I noted above I have loads of other projects on the burner and it's not going to happen any time soon.
As Teddy above observed, the only certain way of seeing a route you want in the sim is to roll up your sleeves, get stuck in and do it yourself (unless those guys who take commissions for routes and charge about £500 are still about).

Fave railways: Puffing Billy <-> Vale of Rheidol -> equal first place.
I'm hoping to go to the I.O.M TT next year, Vale is the last reason I needed to visit Wales as well.
Thank you so much!
Kev- do you still have the GMax files for those locos, it may be something I'd be interested in finishing off? It's not something I'd contemplate starting from scratch, but completing what you've started as a joint project would give me an incentive to tackle a steam loco for the first time? Were those bogies built for the VoR locos?
