It seems to me that they were built of spliced conventional 2-10-2's (the "Santa Fe" type), proved unwieldy, and were shortly rebuilt to conventional engines. Early in this century Santa Fe was very enthusiastic about various schemes of compounding (e.g. Mallets), but that enthusiasm apparently gave rise to very few lasting examples of the technology. I'm sure there were other 2-10-10-2's out west; the Santa Fe examples I happen to recall at the moment. John Ewing, Boston
