Great information as always Jerry!  

Agree the picture of 012 is Leslie #63 later the D&RGW 071.  I think you can even see it has the older fan style blade compared to the paddle style on  99200, OM and ON or the scoop style blade on OO and 99201.

Question though,  wasn't Leslie #59 (C&S 99201) renumbered 012 from 03 in 1903 until renumbered 0270 in 1906? I believe you had told me one time this rotary was used for a few days on the ng until deemed it to heavy and put on the standard in June of '01.

This is a the builder photo of D,N-W&P rotary 10200. Later rebuilt with the steel body. I sure would like to know the date of the rebuild. Interesting how "cookie cutter" the rotaries could be or how many options railroads could choose such as blade style and diameter.
