Saw this movie for the first time on TV last night. It's the adaption
by Ian McKellen set in an alternate 1930s fascist England. I did a
Google search but couldn't turn up anything about which locos and stock
were used in the scenes at St Pancras and Carnforth. I'm hoping
somebody here can clarify.

There was a brief scene of the "Royal" train hauled by what looked like
a 9F, and included what looked a lot like the LNWR royal saloon and a
Gresley teak car.

Also in the final battle scene some German locos at Carnforth,
presumably the 01 and the small tank engine. Much of that scene
included some pseudo armoured Mk1s. Were these the same coaches used in
Goldeneye? Interesting that a lot of stock had the boar's head crest
painted on it.

I ask how 1930s England acquired Soviet T-55 tanks..... :)

Cheers

All the way down at the bottom of the page, if that helps, also note the 
comment further up about Hitchcock's Rail scenes from "39 steps!"

Note that the "Royal Palace" was apparently St Pancras - they say station, 
but I assume the hotel?
