One of the picture panels carried by Class 320s since delivery in 1989. Henry Bell's Comet of 1812 was not the world's first paddle steam vessel but is reckoned to be the first commercial one in Europe. It was built in Port Glasgow and operated on the Clyde. In order to show the paddles the artist has opted to depict the vessel clear of the water, with the part normally below the waterline coloured red. However, together with the background, this does give it the slightly disturbing (or bad trip) appearance of hovering above the water.
