The National Park Service also published a Special History Study of the locomotives at Steamtown NHS. The publication, "Steam Over Scranton: The Locomotive of Steamtown," was written by Gordon Chappell and published in 1991. While some of the equipment in that 1991 study is no longer in the Steamtown NHS collection (deaccessioned to other museums), you may find the data related to your research.
