I have no idea what a BK Stoker looks like. Therefore, when I did a google search, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. I want to learn and make an accurate model of what I'm working on.
Thanks in advance.
First, it depends on which UP steam locomotive you are trying to model. Then, find one of the Bill Kratville books specifically covering that class of locomotive, i.e. the Challengers, the Bog Boy, or the Mighty 800 as some examples. The books should cover the stoker installation in some detail. Lastly, you could look in a Locomotive Cyclopedia under stokers, and get additional information.
