Paul is a life long rail fan of the DAR since watching it while living in the Greenwood area in the 70's.

Paul is also a talented Microsoft Train-Sim developer and among other routes, is currently working (since March 2009) on creating the DAR in virtual scale in MSTS format. The simulation can be run with the original MSTS and now will run as well on (free!) Open Rails software.

The line is still in BETA but runs from Coldbrook all the way to Halifax. Of course, populating the line with structures and landscaping is the greatest part of the work and so at this point (BETA7) the line has been populated from Coldbrook and Steam Mills to Kentville and from Kentville to Falmouth. See our Forum for more up to the minute information on development of this virtual line. Also see our forum download section for most of the available engines and rolling stock customized and created for the DAR: http://www.dardpi.ca/forum/viewforum.php?f=17
