just to show the most obvious Photoshop in the picture.
Green: The are similar, just copy and past, you can see how smoke and water marks from tear and wear have run down the hull, and they are similar. (even when you study every pixel of it)
sky blue: this two wheel set is totally the same, if you study them close you can see that the light reflection is the same.
darker blue: the forward tank over the forward drive boggy, is the same as the one aft for it. copy and paste.
Red: here you can easily see that this area have gone trough a lot of copy an past. the tank is bend in a weird and unnatural way, the walkaway have some bend on it to that doesn't fit the rest of the locomotive. even some railings in that area suddenly stops, and reappear a tad later on the hull, workers need something to hold on to.
if you look close on the tender you can easy see that it have gone trough copy and paste at least three times in each end, due to the shading in the paint are similar three times over.. even the fire pit looks Photoshoped twice.
The dark green line show how the locomotive looks like from above, if we look at how the light falls on the train, but also how it looks 3D ways.
And the same here:
There is one story going around that bosses in Union pacific during a Christmas diner and was drunk, was talking a lot of nonsense and drawing something down. and there it goes.
many years later someone pick that story up, but there is no drawing from that "party" so that person think a bit, how could that train be looking like... then he do as we all here in Shipbucket have done many times, either official in shipbucket or on the private. for example look at me and the Super Nansen class work I did...
