I agree that the lines look sharp, but the composition makes no sense. The giant wheel next to the cabin is just weird. Why is the wheel bigger? And why is the cabin not wider than the track width? This looks like a tractor, not a locomotive. The steam is comming from the coal storage, but not from the engine. And why does the coal storage have a chimney anyway? Then there are the weirdly shaped coupling rods. These mistakes make no sense in the context of a steam locomotive, but they look plausable. I'm no AI expert, but it certainly is a weird looking steam locomotive.

I'm starting to think this was designed wrong intentionally. What better way to farm engagement then to wrongly draw a train in a meme about autism, on Lemmy?
