Significantly. In the last 200 years the railroads, the locomotive builders, and significant industrial designers have all left a mostly beneficial mark upon the colorful history of steam locomotion. However the basic principals of boiling water to make steam, then forcing it into the pistons where the steam expands 40 times to push the piston back and forth haven't changed from the beginning. Most notably, the means of producing good steel helped boilers carry higher pressure steam, valve gears to regulate steam into the cyliners, wheel arrangements and major design changes for improved tractive effort, speed, ease of maintenence or reliability have all been implemented since the birth of the locomotive in 1804. To see the most drastic comparison, compare stephenson's rocket to a UP 4-8-8-4 big boy.
