Tramp,
I'd like to see pictures of any of your train stuff.

Is the boiler crooked on this engine or is it just me?

It sure looks like it has a list to port to me. The cab looks like it also.

Re: Hobo Jungle
It looks to me like the front truck is stepping down from one "platform" to another. You have to look close because they're all in white. The picture and angles probably exacerbate the perceived problem.

Go home, Engine. You're drunk....

Over on OGR they were calling this the finest brass engine ever made. WTF?

Re: Hobo Jungle
It's asleep and the boiler is dreaming of running on super elevated tracks. 
Actually, it looks like the photographer forgot to make sure something wasn't hung up between the boiler and chassis. The boiler is resting on something that it shouldn't be resting on. Easy to do on some articulated models.
It might be the best representation of this loco in model form but it isn't sitting straight.

Re: Hobo Jungle
The boiler is twisted, like a big truck getting a heavy load started. Wait, everything on top of the boiler is level.

It looks to me like the smokebox door/front was not installed straight. As Wayne said, the stuff on top looks properly aligned.
