Notes:
The BMG/Precision Locomotive Developments Merchant Navy is a bit challenging to drive, but the timetable is relativley easy. Be careful when going up steep gradients, as you do not want to start wheelslipping. For more information about how to get the best out of both the BMG/Precision Locomotive Developments Merchant Navy and how to drive uphill, I suggest asking other people for advice or looking around and seeing what other people have done.
I use RW Enhancer 2 but the scenario might work without it.
I am also unsure if you need the AP Sky and Weather Enhancement Pack V2 for RW Enhancer 2, I think that you do not but it may be worth asking around if you are not sure.
If you do not have any of the Rolling Stock then try swapping them out with RW Tools or Locoswap for an item that you do have.
The scenario length is both of the scenarios combined.
