I believe this is correct...the NdeM locomotives had the same
cylinder dimensions, but drivers were 1" bigger at 43" giving
them a t.e. that was just a scoce less.

As to mallets never built, you could certainly add the proposed
75 cm. 2-10-10-2's of the RFIRT in Argentina. I was allowed to
photograph the plans & these were published in Pacific News in
1977 IIRC.
