Indeed, 1727 is a good candidate. Bearing wedges indicate lots of life left, tires appear good, in 1976 the boiler held 100lbs pressure, and air pump operated at 50lbs. Boiler was drained, air pump lubricated, bearings greased w/ MCRRR 25's portable gun. 1727 is missing the ecentric rods.
BUT, it is doubtful Dunsmuir would ever let her go. (RATS)
