Hi David,
the black & white comparison is here:

It certainly doesn't show the "soggy" saturation of the
original, but, on the other hand, most people seem to
expect that steam trains should shown in B&W.
It's a strange fact, but if you ask kids to draw a
train, it will almost always be a steam train.
It's similar when they draw houses, there will almost
always be a smoking chimney, four windows, a door in
the middle (and often a fenced garden) - even if they
live in an apartment block. Must be something to do
with genetic memory - or wishful thinking:-) .
Cheers
Douglas
