The Hickory Stripe register
In a rail yard in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a great steam locomotive stands black and steel-grey, and the trade's old sign is the hickory-stripe cap and jacket, cut from fine blue-grey and white stripes. The pack puts the railroad engineer beside the engine in that cloth, with the grey ballast under his boots and the cold bright light of the high plains.
He stands at the cab with the steel-blue flank of the engine behind him, leans in the open window of the cab with his forearms on the sill, or stands on the ballast while the whole engine stretches along the track, its driving wheels taller than a man. The mood is plain and proud: a man who knows his machine.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, set in a Cheyenne rail yard, beside a steam locomotive. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, ready in seconds, not pictures taken on location.
How to photograph yourself for a railroad engineer photo
Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone selfie is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
- Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
- Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone selfie is the best starting point.
- A plain, direct lookA level, unposed expression in your source photo suits a working man at his machine.
- A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this a real photo taken at a Wyoming rail yard?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a Cheyenne rail yard, beside a steam locomotive. It is not a picture taken there.
- Will it look like a real photograph?
- Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in a Cheyenne rail yard, beside a steam locomotive, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Is it right for a railroad or trades profile?
- Yes. It suits railroad workers, engineers, conductors, rail enthusiasts and tradespeople, for a union page, a company profile or a family keepsake.
- What is a hickory stripe?
- It is the fine blue-grey and white striped cotton that railroad engineers wore for generations, in a cap and a jacket. The pack uses it as the sign of the trade.
- Is this pack for men?
- The wardrobe and styling are cut for men, so the pack reads that way. Other packs on Narcis suit other looks.
- What if my photo is not great?
- A clear, well-lit phone photo of your face is enough to start. Even daylight, a straight angle and hair off the face fix most poor matches.
- Do I have to write anything?
- No. You pick the pack and it is ready in seconds. If a photo is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.
- Can I use the photos commercially?
- Yes. The photos are yours to use anywhere, personal or commercial: a company or union page, a profile, a book or a print.
- Will the photos look like me?
- Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.
- Do I have to write a prompt?
- No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.
- How many photos of myself do I add?
- Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.
- What happens to the photos I add?
- They are used only to create your model, on our own servers in the European Union. They are not shared and not sold.

About narcis
Most AI photo tools put every pose, job, era, and style in one giant catalog. The photos all look like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One job: photos of you that look like photographs. You add at least 6 photos of yourself, and we create your AI model from them. Your photos are ready in a few hours, and we email you when they are. Then this pack and every other pack on Narcis can be made with your face. Each pack is curated against real references — paintings, photographers, places — and tested on real faces before it goes live. Built and run by one small team, on our own servers.
All images are AI-generated. By using this service, you confirm you are 18+, that any face photo you upload is your own or used with explicit consent. Full Terms
