Harry Brunk wrote an excellent article in MR about 8 years ago on rebuilding 68 with a rebuilt (post 1920?) big tender tank. I don't remember the issues.
Here she was in 1917 with a big tank.
This is a list of engines I found prior to rebuilding (meaning the flairs were removed)
Engine 57 – 1912
Engine 59 – 1908
Engine 64 – 1902
Engine 65 – 1912
Engine 68 – 1917
Engine 70 – 1901
Harry speculated to me that perhaps these tanks came from old UPD&G sg engines of antique vintage (4-4-0s or ?) being scrapped at the TOC. I thought the idea was viable but have never pursued to verify that. I don't know how many such tanks were created. I've always thought no more than half a dozen at most.
