A beautiful engine and masterful engineering ….. But I always found that a strangely inappropriate name for a fast train, a slow flying duck. I was also not actually sure it was the right colour. Why not the green of the Mallard drakes neck? I am supported in this view by an expert in the field….  Click here to comment on this image.

The "ostrich" is hiding its shame from Eric - everyone knows the secondary wing feathers of daddy eider are blue

It may be the purists approach to take the exact colour pigment whereas I would have thought a darker rendition would have been more in keeping on a masculine engine. Better still call it the Falcon or Raven…then soppy blue doesn’t come into it.
