Yeah, I know of that, and I'm aware it happens. Even still, those designs have the concept right. I don't see how anyone draws the smoke stack on the front of the engine but then, for some reason, draws the Steam coming out the rear. If they didn't draw it at all then I think it's reasonable. I just don't see how you get to the point of the OP.

It's like drawing a bike and drawing the pedals, but the chain connect the handlebars to the wheel or something. It's just not something someone's going to do. (On that page, literally everyone who included a chain connected it to the pedals. It maybe do weird things, but that basic thing is consistently correct, because you don't draw pedals and not understand that that's where the chain connects.) They'll draw something that doesn't function, because the don't understand how a bike works maybe, but there are some basic things everyone knows.
