Pretty sure the Manx is photoshopped. What ever it is it’s dog Manx I make that “end place of the packet” so that’s a sort of literal translation, but bre has me confused, as I think steam is gaal.

The character width on the Manx text is a little smaller, but look at the character reflections in the window - if it is Photoshopped they have done the reflections as well.
