   They were and are all the same no way to tune anything. Different 
locomotives
 had different pressures which does make a little difference Originally the 
tops
were all brass latter ones were made of 5 1/2 flue tube .Weather it was used 
tube
or new who knows. I would think they would have used new . The bowls were
all made of bronze.
