Sure this can all be exagerated but I'm sure there's some truth also. Question is, had the quality of the CSX1000 care improved in this area?
I'm sure the 1000 cars are built much closer to being symmetrical than the originals. Some of original cars were off MUCH more than a 1/4" from side to side. The Kirkhams own CSX3104 is a good example of this. If you look at the front headlight/marker light area, one side is pointing forward, and the other side is pointing out into left field somewhere .
