Prince Albert dubs the steam engine "the most magnificent thing I have ever seen", he and Sir Robert Peel [[RailEnthusiast go joyriding on the engine]], and [[spoiler: even Queen Victoria [[NotSoAboveItAll decides to go for a train ride]] because of all the hype]].

The German VT 11.5 took the cake with a variable configuration with two power cars at the end. It had four different cars, all air-conditioned: a compartment car, a saloon car, a dining car and a car with another saloon, a bar (!) and an extension for the restaurant (it was always coupled to the kitchen end of the dining car). While the other trains were designed for the standard TEE top speed of [=140kph=], the VT 11.5 could reach [=160kph=] with up to six intermediate trailers (standard configuration was five) and 140 with up to eight of them. The Danish rail operator DSB had their own variant of the VT 11.5, the MA 460 series, nicknamed irreverently the "Flygende Stovle" (Flying Boot), which annoyed DSB so much that they painted them silver, called them the "Solvepilen" (Silver Arrow) and threatened to ''fire'' any DSB employee that referred to it as the "Flygende Stovle". It's beloved in Denmark, with the nickname varying between the two.
