Thanks for the photo, Chris -
Most of the cylinder block is hidden behind the tree, but it sure looks like a post-Vauclain, pre-Superheat K-27 to me . . .
IIRC, we're still looking for photos of #454, #456, #458 and/or #461 with piston valves, but before conversion from Stephenson to Walschearts valve gear, to confirm Earl's hunch explaining the inboard position of the valves on only those four engines.
