I've looked, and have never found any.
The best picture of cylinder carnage I've found was the following, showing NKP 759 in 1971. I believe I read at one time that this was also the result of priming, but I can't find that story now. The 759 was supposedly repaired with parts from NKP 757 and ran for a couple more years before the '73 incident on the B&M where she was allowed to freeze while still full of water, and she hasn't operated since.
