Every locomotive is in a different state depending on how long it has been sitting, how long and hard the railroad ran it and how well they maintained it, etc. 20 was just about run into the ground by the RGS and ran late. 168 was retired 15-20 years earlier and was primarily a passenger engine on the D&RGW. It likely saw better care and easier work than 20, but you won't know for sure what shape it is in until you dig in.
