Folks,

I was driving home tonight and for some odd reason started thinking of Bando Blue...and why it was called such. After a few seconds it came to me and I laughed out loud.

Anyone else![:D]

Never even heard of it, but it must have a band of blue in its colors. What is it?

Ok,

Here is a hint:

This engine is painted in a shade of blue, called Bando Blue. So, why IS the paint color called Bando Blue???[:o)]

Blue of the Stars and Stripes? If so, still don't get the "Bando" part.
