Hi,
You have a good idea but I am confused by you statement.

I did find a reference in the 1924 renumbering (page 34 Locomotives of the Rio Grande) that a 412 was renumbered to 10. The same page refers to a Class 75 being five (5) narrow gauge 2-8-0s being built for D&RGW Ry in 1881.
They were subsequently renumbered to 550-554 in 1887, rebuilt to 0-8-0T standard gauge locomotives in the class S19.
On page 37, they were renumbered to 800-804. Dismantled between between 1915 and 1924. Only 412/550/800 made it to the 1924 renumbering and became #10.
They started out narrow gauge in 1881 under D&RGW Ry. Became SG and renumbered into the 500's in 1887.
(As narrow gauge they would have been C16s)
RGW came to be in 1889.
D&RG RR in 1908 and were renumbered into the 800s.
There is a photo of #800 as an 0-8-0T (ex-412, ex-500) on page 142 of Rio Grande to the Pacific.
Very interesting learning.
Thanks for the inspiration. You learn something new every day.
