Welcome my newest member of my railworks NWR fleet Matthias the CR 191.

I have fallen in love with the engines of the caledonian railway and the 191 is my absolute favorite of that particular railway

FOR THE GWR!!

Oh boy THIS scenario was such a hassle

The set up for this is it started as a pub debate where some LMS/SOUTHERN folk were like "those little 56xx can't make it up a 1:50 with 20 gravel cars and a breakeven." So now it's your job to prove them wrong, I love the implication that they set this up just to make a point.

Anyway you are tasked to haul said load cab first up the hills and the struggle is REAL, maxed out like 6 mph on those hills but I MADE IT!

(Side note I missed that I was to stop at a station before taking on the 1:50 so half way up I went back down just to prove I can do it from a dead stop.)
