The Train Truckers are on a special mission to deliver an iconic, record breaking steam engine, the Sir Nigel Gresley, more than 40 miles across the country as it heads off to start a new chapter in its illustrious career.

At the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire heavyweight haulers Zak and Harry and ramp man Dave, are loading a 100 ton Deltic diesel engine, no 19, Royal Highland Fuselier, ahead of a titanic move to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in Wirksworth, Cheshire.

The Train Truckers are on a tricky mission to deliver a legendary diesel locomotive, that's undergone over half a million pounds worth of repairs, over 40 miles across the country ready for a diesel gala without scratching its pristine paintwork.

The Train Truckers are on the clock this week as they attempt to move a 100 ton diesel engine to a gala extravaganza, as well as a 175 ton rail crane destined for Egypt.
