Earl, thanks for the listings of what was done when... I'd assumed that after 455 was completed, all the rest had piston valves, Walchaerts valve gear, and superheater all installed at the same time, but instead it looks like most were done in a piecemeal fashion. Perhaps something like "we'll do the superheater when the existing flue time is used up."???

The piecemeal fashion makes more sense of why 462 had the piston valve update, but no superheater.... between K37s showing up, and the onset of the Depression, time and $$ just ran out to justify further work.
