If I remember the Early Alco NP 4-8-4s  and DL&Ws 1500s  were a few 
years before  the 1111  but the 1600s  were mostly roller bering if Im 
correctly informed
I However think that the ERIE fans among us  will get a K5 modernized 
before the DLWs get an N6 :-(  not that I dont like Heavy Pacifics   I 
just think Lackawanna's are Pretter   I also would love a 1450 rebuilt 
or a 2200 3cyl freight mountain  but fat chance of them doing those!
