I just bought Darrell's #9, I have another Overland 9 unpainted in the box that I bought from a local gentleman a couple of years ago, but somehow I never took the tender out of the box and examined it until yesterday - I should have looked at it more closely before buying. The lead tender truck had a bent side frame and its bolster was bent and repaired poorly (most likely had an encounter with the floor at one time, no other visible damage), so the fireman's side wheels sat about 1/16" off the rail when placed on the track. Now I'll have to figure out whether to get it fixed and resell it or use it for parts...
