Pre-War #201

[steve1946]

I have a feeling this will appeal to a limited number of operators/collectors but here goes anyway!  I finished the rebuild of my pre-war #201 0-6-0 switcher.  Everything works as it should and all the parts fit including the motor to the frame with a little coaxing.  When the engine is sitting on the track it looks like it is travelling down hill.  Is this the way it is suppose to look?   I would appreciate any comments from #201 owners.  Thanks,  Steve

Not having one in my collection, I took a look at e-bay...
