Here is a comparison scan for you. This was done on my flatbed scanning at about the equivalent resolution of the film scanner. The first thing that pops out at me is that I have lost all of my cloud detail in the sky. And this isn't a problem with the flatbed. If I look at the print there is no detail in the sky. It just looks like a solid color.
Go down to the negative scan below and check out the lever coming down from the sand tower just above the headlight. You can't hardly see it in the print. Also check out that T above the cab it is clearly there in the film scan but not in the print scan. I think that the T is a brake wheel on a DB gondola up on the track behind the sandhouse.
Also note the white specs on the sandhouse and the dome of the engine. It looks like I need to clean the glass on my flatbed!

Here is the negative scan to make it easier to compare.
