The heritage railway I volunteer at have just purchased an extremely rare engine - Paxman 6RPH mk4 currently mated to a generator. We've been looking for one for over 2 years now to replace a seized and damaged one in an ex Army North British diesel locomotive - one of the last remaining locos of that batch for the Army.
The issus is the genset is in Margate, Kent and we are in Ayrshire, Scotland! We need a haulier with a Hiab truck to collect and deliver it. I've tried Shiply for quotes and so far have had a couple of European cowboys come back with crazy prices and offers of a "truck within the hour"!
So, does anyone know a "man with a Hiab truck" that could do the job for us?
