Here is a picture of #537 and #74.
The difference from ground level side by side is more striking, but you can see where #74's weight is from the much larger boiler, #537's weight is largely in the frame.
By the way, it is worth noting that Bob Richardson put me on to a surviving Baldwin locomotive of this class which at the time was in El Centro, California, East of San Diego. CyZ #1 still has it's original Baldwin slope back tender. The frame and boiler is virtually identical. It has since been traded to the Iowa Central RR and Museum and is possibly going to be restored one day.
When we were getting information together for the Burlington Bulletin, we used many measurements and detail photos of CyZ #1 to send to Matt Hutson, who put together a very nice drawing of #537. If you are interested at all in #537, or just looking for C&S information, I highly reccomend you search for it. as others mentioned they had on ebay earlier today in the #70 tender thread.
