Bob; Yeah; it's too bad about the thing on the right. It was 5703, until someone in preservation (name and association witheld) decided they wanted a bunch of "first of the batch" locomotives, and renumbered her to 5700 in the 1960s. The real 5700 had Boxpok drivers, and, IIRC, outside bearings on the lead truck. At least the one on the left is ok; a bit of black paint and some work on her oil burner and she'll be as right as rain.
