My prints are difficult to read on my phone, but there is some information. Of course, DSNGRR/CTSRR folks would be the experts on this
K36: 36 1/2" radius on the cylinder block for the smokebox (? long smokebox)
K37: 37 1/2" radius on the cylinder block for the smokebox (7'-4 5/8" long smokebox - I did not subtract the length of the boiler that inserts into the smokebox)
