The spacing between the #2 and #3 drivers was determined by the need to fit the Stephenson Valve Gear between the frames and between the drivers. As to why the short coupled distance between #1 and #2, I cannot say, perhaps a need to keep the driving wheel base shorter.

FYI, the C-17 class had similar driver spacing.

I believe #7 is now on display in her original home town of Rheinlander, WI.
