None of the narrow gauge 2-8-0's were superheated from the best of my knowledge. The C-41 standard gauge consolidations were superheated prior to them being converted to narrow gauge mikes. Some of the Mexican and South American 2-8-0's with D valves were converted to piston valves with Franklin kits and converted to superheat. The #40 at the Colorado Railroad Museum is a good example of one that was converted. Bottom line, D valves and superheat don't mix well.
