I recently sold an item;
SUNSET MODELS O Scale BRASS SP F SERIES 2-10-2 #3661 F-3 2-RAIL
Then I got a communication saying,
"The locomotive cab is bent out of square with the rest of the locomotive. It appears to be bent up in the rear, and with no damage to the paint, it seems it was assembled this way, with the damage not being caused in transit. This stands out like a sore thumb."
Suzanne, Looking at the above pic, the buyer is saying the front of the cab roof (more or less above the "3" on the side) is LOWER than the back of the cab roof. You would need to measure up just past the "1" on the side, because the back corner of the cab roof is beveled inward. In other words, the straight edge across the bottom of the cab roof should be parallel with a line drawn across the tops of the numbers. Probably pretty trivial, but some of us modelers are a bit neurotic! These things are hand made and stuff happens on occasion!
Hope this helps!
Simon
