The Rio Grande seemed pretty well committed to outside frame after the mudhens of 1903. The first order of the 2-6-6-2's for the NdeM in 1928 is just prior to the 490-499 conversions so you have to guess the Rio Grande must have been approached by Alco. Especially since the Rio Grande had standard gauge articulateds.

Could have been a 2-6-6-2 built to Rio Grande specs would have been too heavy for Lobato trestle, amongst others. You can't split up an articulated the way you can two 2-8-2's.
