That is going to cause UFO reports 😆

@GreenSkyOverMe the flying banana is actually only one of the multiple test trains we have in the UK!

There's iirc something like 6 or 8 HST power cars used, but the actual consists they run with are not consistent, and often you'll see them run with a Class 37 and a DBSO (oldddd cab car)

@GreenSkyOverMe Japan has 'Doctor Yellow' for their maintenance train.

Flying Banana was used as a nickname for all the high speed train units in their original livery long before the NMT, and that was a reference to 1930s use for GWR railcars

@GreenSkyOverMe Funny!

Personally, I call the black-and-yellow service trains I have in my Minecraft world "bees". Called the last one "Andrena" (mining bee) because it's a driller train, haha

@GreenSkyOverMe They always remind me of this scene in Dr Zhicago because of how they arrive unannounced at small stations going line speed and surprise everyone.

I bet those play well with the Aviation Authorities, or whatever they call it over there.
