IIRC the use of 007 in that manner is trademarked to the film company as demonstrated in a recent court case regarding an advert featuring the Peugeot 1007 the ruling being that the 1007 has to be pronounced one oh oh seven not one dopuble oh seven.

hope that helps :D

Lucky I got a photo of the nameplate.
I recall that when 91107, Mark 4 set and DVT 82231 were given full vinyls there was a big following of the train on twitter, is there still any following of it.
And DVT 82231 still has the Skyfall logo on the front (below headlights)
Thanks, Sam

...91001 (a.k.a. 91101) should have 'Swallow' nameplates and perhaps some special vinyls with an enlarged version of the IC Swallow logo.

I agree, and FGW 43125 should be named 'Intercity 125' and given an appropriate livery or branding too.

Intercity Executive livery would seem appropriate, given that 43125 was one of the two power cars (along with 43126) that was used to launch the Executive scheme, on the Western region. Perhaps one for their final months before withdrawal, along with restoring 43002 to the original blue & yellow livery, in the same manner as Virgin reliveried a selection of their 47s into "heritage" liveries in their final days.

I've attempted to photoshop something which should give you an idea of the livery I'm imagining for 91101, see here.
