Does this look like the broad gauge Iron Duke scrapped during WW2?

The bloke with the pinch bar doesn't seem to be too sure of his best technique.....
Anyone else reminded of Grommet and his box of spare rails?

Hello 52D,
It's 'Rocket', and I think it's being moved between two sections of the Science Museum in South Kensington via the surrounding streets. I wonder how they got round corners?

When i looked at the gauge of the track it seemed larger than standard, thats why i was confused.
