Louis,
The first 10 O-1As, nos. 5060 - 5069 also had the small sand domes. In addition, many of the early O-1As had larger cabs than the last locomotives in that class.

Hol - You already know this, but for anyone new to this Group or has since
forgotten, 5020 was later rebuilt into a one-of-a-kind 0-8-0 switch engine
and classed F-3. The rebuild must not have been considered successful as no
other Class O-1 locomotive was similarly converted. 5020 bid her adieu in
October 1939 when retired and scrapped. I've attached an image of 5020 as
an 0-8-0 taken at Centralia, IL, on an unknown date. 5020 evidently received
an enlarged sand dome as found on Class O-1-A 2-8-2's when it was rebuilt.
I've never seen an image of another Class O-1 so equipped. The extended
smoke box for burning lignite coal and enlarged sand dome do nothing to
improve 5020's ungainly appearance. Best Regards - Louis
