Gee Jerry, you beat me to the punch on that smarty pants comment!
Seriously though, SVRy 17 is definitly another and likely SVRy 50, 16 and 18. 17 is shown in a photo soon after it arrived on the SVRy with a tender mostly full of coal as the engine and tender had derailed. It obviously burned wood for the most part and was converted to an oil burner by the S.Baker SVRy shop in it's last years. I believe it and the 3 SVRy engines listed above all burned oil in Peru and the other 3 likely burned coal on the SVRy at times.
Another is likely NM Lumber7 later OLC 7 which I assume was burning coal in NM, wood on the OLC and converted to Oil in it's last days working out of Bates, then later back to wood when used as a back up engine in S.Baker.
