I suspect that it has been manipulated to get a mirror image (why?) and a bit of tidying up has been done. When I was editing the Gauge 0 Gazette digital photography was new and domestic ones poor quality. Professionals like Tony Wright were generally still using film. However I could take a scan of photos and import them into Pagemaker to show Artytype how I wanted them and any cropping. Artytype would then re-scan them using a professional quality scanner to do the final make up. I had a great working relationship with Ade at Artytype. He enjoyed working with photos and would come up with some great ideas but would respect it when I explained that a poor photo was needed because it showed some facit of modelling and he would do his best to bring it out even if it offended his artistic sense. It also enabled us to run photos across two pages as he would take the time to get it right. Don Why? When one views the whole of both the original, (which I am not in a position to publish online) and the published versions of the cartoon I would suggest the published version looks more balanced artistically and it may be the reversal took place just because someone (CJF?) thought it looked better in mirror image. Other than that I have no idea and if, as appears to be the case, the Peco archives do not contain correspondence between PD and CJF then this is a mystery we will never solve until we all eventually meet up at that great model railway club in the heaven's.

Malcolm Quite simply if hand drawn I would expect the figures not to be exact mirror images. That suggests manipulation of the original.
