Yes. Just about any book that covers the early years of the D&RG will have some. Also pictures of RGS #11 in many books. Not to be exhaustive but I'll pull a few and list what I find flipping through quickly:

Class 35:
_RGttPacific_ pg 16,17, 18

Class 40:
_RGttPacific_ pg 20, p212 (RGS 11)
_CRRA #8_ p43
_Gunnison_ (by Dorman) p168

SFS engines, "class 40":

None that I know of.

Class 45:
_RGttPacific_ pg 39(#150 on West Virgina Midland, post 1911), pg 61
_CRRA #8_ p 33

A lot of these are at a distance or in the bg tho. Easier to find 4-4-0 photos, they were on the pas trains!
