I just realized that you are asking for #100 and #101. #19 came numbered #102 and #20 came numbered #101. There was no #100 until 1930 when SVRy bought a Whitcomb gas mech. engine and gave it the #100. This engine survives today and is operational at SVRR. Here are shots of both #101/#20 and #102/#19 shortly after their arrival at the Sumpter Valley Ry.
