While looking through a copy of Railpace Magazine, I noticed this picture of and Arcade & Attica steam loco. I'm not big on steam locos, and it maybe my eyesight, but it seems like the tender is tilted toward the loco. I can see the practicality of tilting the tender, to get the water to the boiler, but every steam loco model I've seen the tender is level. Am I just imagining this, or is it a detail model manufactures overlook, as "unnecessary".
In this picture, I drew a level line, and put an arrow on the tender, showing the tilted end. I think it is tilted on one end. Any input from you steam afficendos would be helpful.
