Nope, a sibling to the Class 141. Strangely enough, this prototype had a cab at both ends, no opening windows and sent to Demmark! In service, it had a blue front, with now yellow patches, but remember, its for fun! :)
The other double ended 141 was RB004. She had 1 full doorway and 2 hald doorways, I should create her too. She was later sent to the USA to conduct trials there, after they recieved LEV1.

Of interest, the following prototypes were produced by BR:
  • LEV1 (1975?)
  • LEV2 (1979)
  • LEV3 (1980)
  • RB002 (1981?)
  • RB004 (1981?)
  • Class 140 (1981)
Of the above, the following to date have been scrapped:
None!

So you see? They are very popular, even in preservitation! LEV2 was the only one that actully hit the scrapyard but she narrowly excaped the "chop" when a couple of enthusiasts saw her and fell in love with her. Amtrak wanted LEV2 to operate a light rail service, until they found out it was too light to operate the signaling system (17-20 tons) and scrapped every car, truck, tractor, horse & cart, wheelbarrow, trailer, UFO, Aircraft, sheep, dog, cow, bull, ram or be it human thus do so on their free will get in its way.
