Though real, it looks like a badly "colourised" photo! The film-makers got the "SNCF" livery wrong too - nothing the SNCF ever had was remotely like that...!

This is what they were going for...

What year was that SNCF livery and did the loco ever run in revenue service like that?

From the movie The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976). Shot in Navan for some reason . . . . .

Don't forget that British Rail were very impressed with the 071 class and were precluded from buying them by politicians. If BR had been able to purchase 071 locos we would have had the 071s in rail blue, large logo, wrap around yellow ends etc not to mention sectorisation liveries. Would be nice to see some photo shopped images of the above.

(not mine I hasten to add)

Have a look through Northernblue109's Flickr stream, he has done hundreds of different liveries on trains, buses and trucks.

These are the Irish ones:

Here's everything

I reckon an British 071 would have covered gangways (I think we had a baby GM with a similar setup here) to blend in more with British stuff already out there 

I saw he just posted these Vietnam flashback locomotives

071 with covered gangways...

 

 

[roxy_guy10]

The Iraqi's had them also. I suppose the design was licensed out by GM.

Looks like a Thurso - Kyle of Lochalsh Bulk Haggis train.............?

And the Egyptians - I've had a photo through my hands, but no idea where it is now!

I'm surprised this thread garnered so much traction. Imagine how much traffic will be generated on this website when IRM next announce an actual new model.

Indeed, but not what they got - and to go with that they need dark green carriages….

1960s / 70s.

whys it being piloted by a really creepy looking boris johnson lookalike?

 

i really enjoy seeing different exports of the EMD locos's the GL8(121) in particular went around the world and can be found in loads of gauges.

theres also the GA8 variant making up a pretty large family of motive power.

notice the tiny bogies on this one!

 

 

I certainly never noticed those foreign 071 variants before now!

Jaysus the 121 was bigger than U2 by the looks of it. . .

The 121’s come in all sorts of colours, amazing.

You're just trying to get mugs to do an image search for 'Brazilian'.

I'm not falling for that - yet.
