Around the TOC - that is between about 1895 and 1910 - roughly - several of the "older engines" were NOT so essentially the same as built! I think I pointed this out to you before, Mike. And I think somewhere we posted a list of the engines that happened to be photographed with long mains to the 3rd. I know the last time you expressed doubt (based on what? Osmosis?) I gave you two examples published in Mac Poor's bible. Do you not have this volume?

Here are just a few of the engines I found in about 15 minutes - by no means complete.

No. 61 - 1899 (short rods 1920)
No. 62 (265) (short rods 1886) 265 (long rods 1897) 62 (short rods 1901)
No. 64 - 1900 (short rods 1903)
No. 66 - 1899
No. 69 (272) - 1897 (short rods 1905)
