Not even close.

Is it really that easy to think that a wagon-top boilered 4-4-0 American (not "General") looks the same as a straight-boiler 2-8-0 Consolidation? What are the similarities? That both have wheels?

At least they were painted "Bumble Bee."

Well, they were built in 1881.  At least they didn't use any of the K-class mikados.  Plus, seeing there were no operable narrow gauge 4-4-0's at the time the movie was made, ya gotta go with what ya's got.

What I got a kick out of was during the head-on collision, the tenders exploded.  Mighty unstable water out there...
