Sounds correct. The tender and drivers were all that remained when I was there in the summer of 1977. Actually, it is really rather surprising how much HAS been saved, when you consider the costs and available dollars at the time.
No surprise that the early WP power was identical to D&RG power, since they were joined at the hip then. I think there is a WP 2-8-0 on display in California which is also a pretty close clone to its D&RG(W) sisters, except for being an oil burner.
