Hi Tony.

I don't have a definitive answer for you, but as you say, the Red Dragon was a train rather than a locomotive. So what you would need is a suitable loco with the Red Dragon headboard. From what I understand, suitable locos used on the Red Dragon on a regular basis included GWR Castle & BR Britannia class locos. As for the headboard, I'm not sure where you'd find one of these, but I'm sure they still exist at a heritage railway somewhere, or at the National Railway Museum perhaps. Alternatively, a replica headboard could probably be made relatively easily.

Hope this is some help.

Tony
