Trains, dragons and Islam in Kazhan

A workmate had asked me to take photos of trains, as he likes to paint pictures of them; due to my slackness this is the only train photo I took, while we waited to catch the train from Moscow to Kazhan.
Kazhan, although capital of the Tartarstan region, seemed to have the vibe of a fairly typical small town.
Orthodox Church on the left and bell-tower on the right. Chocolate box church, which was suitably impressive inside,

with chocolate box bell-tower.
Kazhan has its own Kremlin, which is guarded by a dragon.
The Kremlin contains various government buildings, another Orthodox Church and as it's the Islamic capital of Russia, a Mosque.
Pimp my ride; I'm trading in the Beemer when I get back to Blighty and getting one of these bad boys.
