Here you go Will,

38" driver dia.
17" bore
20" stroke
200psi
25858 TE

40" driver dia.
17" bore
20" stroke
200psi
24565 TE

for comparison as built:
40" driver dia.
16.5" bore
20" stroke
185psi
21406 TE

What is the thickness of the frame? The locomotive builders chose the thickness of the frame based on piston thrust.
As built piston thrust: 39,537#, 16.5 dia, 185 psi.
present piston thrust: 45,373#, 17.0 dia 200 psi.

A K-27 also has the same piston thrust @200# and has a 4" thick frame.
