Bare Metal DeadlineFrancis and Chris have just 48 hours to strip their locomotive ready for painting, but will a dramatic train journey derail their mad dash to cut out rot, weld in fresh metal and remove every window handle and sign?
The Wheels Come OffChris and Francis help transform their locomotive with a stunning paint job, but celebrations are ruined by two huge setbacks with the wheels. The time and cost implications could be disastrous for the restoration.
The Missing WheelWhen a scrapped wheel causes delays and a financial hit of £10,000, Francis and Chris leave no stone unturned to help save their loco project. But will the high-risk replacement of the loco's last wheel destroy their diesel restoration dream?
12 Tonne JigsawChris and Francis are keen to make up the time lost to damaged wheels but it won't be easy. Assembling a 12-tonne bogie and fixing a leak in the braking system are not jobs to rush, but the clock is ticking.
Power PlayThe duo install a traction motor capable of 8000 lb/ft of torque. Inspiration for an inaugural tour for 37025 comes from an emotional trip along the stunning line to Lochalsh, 37025's old stomping ground and a line saved by Francis's Great Great Uncle.
