Undecorated paint schemes. The CB&Q Mikados have a brand new
road number, while both locomotives will have all of their detail
parts factory installed and a semi-automatic knuckle coupler which
will allow double heading the units. Please note, however, that
these units are not DCC ready.
About the CB&Q USRA 2-8-2 Heavy Mikado:
The CB&Q, a Midwest railroad with lines running from Chicago
northwest to Minneapolis/St. Paul and Chicago west to Denver, could
never seem to get enough steam power to cover the wartime traffic
and was assigned 15 Heavy Mikados by the USRA in 1919, Mikados
which continued to perform long into the diesel era.
Model Features:
New semi-automatic front coupler for double heading capability
Detail parts (with the exception of coupler trip pins) are factory
installed
Prototypical side rod motion
Wheels can be upgraded with traction tires (Item 11-604) for
increased pulling power
Model Information:
Kato's N Scale USRA 2-8-2 Heavy Mikados now come with all the
handrails, bells, and whistles* factory installed. Working side
rods complete the realistic look and motion of this superb
model.
* Literally referring to bell and whistle detail parts.
