...the last train home

I've just realised that I've not put a picture of this train up yet:

This train featured in teh James Bond film 'Goldeneye'. It's actually a British Rail class 20 No. D8188 and the menacing nose was added to fit with the 'armoured train' look that the film makers were aiming for.
Here is the same train minus its 'faceplate' but with most of the rest of it's conversion into a Russian diesel for filming the James Bond movie.
And here is what a standard D8188 looks like.

Anyway, I really like the no-nonsence look that they achieved with the train for the film set, and will probably incorperate something like it into my design.
