I like the stoker Doc. In the states sometime in the 1930's uncle Sam mandated that all locomotives over a certain weight were equipped with stokers. This was a reluctant change for the SH&D, but soon the bean counters realized that they could eliminate the second fireman on most runs, they popped up on everything almost overnight.
With firebox's like those the stokers were a big help.
