So i just finished restoring a 255E which is basically the same as the 260E and the 263E steamers. I purchased a new repro drawbar (260T) and when i try to run the beast on O-31 the cab corner hits the tender front casting. Is this unusual or do they all do it. I plan on going to O-72 hopefully T-rail when i build my layout but this was a disappointment for now. Thinking i might have got a screwy drawbar. Anyone else have one for comparison? Heres a pic for your viweing pleasure. The boiler is NOS Madison hardware, the rest is restored.
