I installed a bark box in my K-27 today, which took me about 30 minutes.
It was easy, but I recommend taking off the smoke box cover (2 bolts on the sides) to give you room to work and make it easy to reinstall the shortened exhaust pipe. The weather is too lousy to run outside, so I ran on rollers and put a short video of the run on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txs-x7-CUVU
There is noticable chuff improvement even with no load on the locomotive. In my view, the Bark Box works as advertised and I like the device. I will put another video on YouTube as soon as I can run outside and take some shots under load.
