Well spotted, that man!
That's rather disappointing, isn't it.
But still a good movie.
Are there any photos in any books of the frames being built?
All the best,

The two 3100s were very advanced technologically, including the first Canadian application of Commonwealth one-piece cast frames with integral-cast cylinders and saddles. (Their tenders also had Commonwealth one-piece cast frame beds.) The video clearly shows construction with a multi-piece frame and separatly cast cylinders, etc., suggesting that much of the footage depicts an earlier Class, perhaps a G3 Class 4-6-2. It's only the final finished shots of the #3101 that are truly of the locomotive allegedly represented. throughout.
