Here's the Nickel 90's tank on my base - I'm darn happy how it looks. Though the smoke stack is now out of place as most of its nickel is gone. The other one isn't fairing much better than came in the other day.
Now I need to put the other one back together and decide what to do with it.
At least now with the two Nickel 90's showing up on eBay, I pretty much know this is how these came out of the factory.

Thank Charlie!
This little 90 was been really annoying me. I just couldn't keep the performance stable and I even switched bases with the one that had the nice tank. I ended up just putting it up on the shelf to have a think about it for a while. Sure enough a few days later I had a idea and the right one too. It dawned on me to check the steam pipe opening, where it meets up to the cylinder. Sure enough it was mashed a bit and wasn't laying flat against the cylinder.
Here's a little video I made going over this. Sometimes I am really a idiot and should have realized this a LOT sooner...
