And there's the rub! Your photo did not follow the rules as they are stated. What you did, whether you are aware or not, would be the same as following a photo of an Espee GS4 with an EBT Consolidation. A Reading T1 would have been a better choice ... you cannot justify the EBT Consol by saying, "Well, it is a steam engine!" That kucka will not flush!
Some are not as picky about steam, but in my book, if we must follow the rules with diesels, which I and some of the other older guys are mostly clueless about, we should also follow the rules with steam, which some of us older guys know very well and many of the younger diesel guys are as clueless about as I am about diesels ( but I'm trying to play catch-up with the diesel development. (My studies have me up to the era of the Reading's GE/ALCO/Ingersol-Rand OE-1 #50 Boxcab ... I have a long way to go!)
It goes something like this; if someone posts a photo, like a UP SD40-2 #3340, you can in turn post an SD40-2 from ANY road, OR, you can post ANYTHING UP, or you can post ANYTHING train related with the #3340. The photos can be the REAL THING, or MODELS, EITHER/BOTH will work!
