I dont know if they were in worse shape. It was my understanding that the rigid stay bolts in the older boilers on the 37's had a tendency to break and the C&TS either didn't want to or couldn't deal with this problem. Of course, this didn't stop the D&RGW's preference for the 37's over the 36's in the later years.
