(...) Image quality is a big part of determining if it is a fake. IMO, at least. For example, is it just a bad scan? What evidence is there for or against this? One piece of evidence is that many of the colors are too universal for it to be a scan. (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) It _is_ a bit strange that the red 4460 has metal rims on all the wheels, though. Surely, only two pairs are powered. On the other hand, mixing metal and non-metal rims on one engine would probably look daft. Fredrik (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm thinking 4460 uses steel rimmed (powered) and 4450 uses plastic rimmed (unpowered) with the motor unit in the tender. That looks like a glint of steel on the tender wheels. That's good news because it means we get a new size wheel for (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains) !
