You'll have to make do with Meyers and Mallets, or you could just rewrite history a bit. Henschel made Garratts for many other countries, you could easily imagine they might trial them on DR narrow gauge lines.

Watching the vid again I reckon it needs a sound system to bring it to life, but I know that could be a cost preferance sort of thing. A My Loco Sound chip would work nicely.
