The USRA Light and Heavy 2-8-2 designs were very successful designs, commonly called Heavy Mikados and Light Mikados. These locomotives were used by many railroads across North America.
The USRA built 625 Light Mikados, with 641 copies built after the USRA ended control. With copies, over 50 railroads used the USRA Light 2-8-2's.
There were 233 original USRA Heavy 2-8-2's built plus another 957 copies, covering 23 railroads. The USRA Heavy Mikados used pretty much the same running gear as the Light Mik's, but the boilers were 10 inches larger in diameter and they had larger cylinders as well. Tractive effort was about 10% higher for the heavy 2-8-2's.
This release includes two undecorated versions along with multiple road names and numbers to choose from. All come factory equipped with DCC & Sound.
