I don't think there would be any sort of boycott, just comments,
questions and whining (there's always whining) about the lack of
multi-colors.

Just as an aside, I think it is funny that with an extremely famous
and well-run British Rail that the adult cover on the UK version is a
photo of an American railroad engine.

Quoting from the copyright page:

Norfolk & Western Railway's Train, "The Cavalier", Leaves Williamson,
West Virginia, on a Rainy Day, 1958.  

What, it never rains in England when the trains are running so they
could take a picture? ;)
