So I now in a interesting position! I successfully put on the wheel and it runs great! now that the motor is running, what prewar boiler, frame and steamchest should I rebuild this engine as? I pretty sure it's a 249e motor, but apparently there are at least 8 prewar engines that used this type of motor, 249e of course, 259e, 260e, 261e, 262e, 263e, 264e, and 265e. I have a blue 265wx tender that works and I kinda was leaning towards rebuilding the motor into a 265e but Something inside me thinks that is a bit off. i will provide photos of the now running prewar '249e' motor In the next few posts. which of those prewar engines is best suited for my motor?
