HO P3 2-8-2 Lt.Mikado Steam Loco UP #2488/DC/DCC Sound

For the first time in
the Paragon3 series, BLI is bringing out the USRA Light and Heavy 2-8-2
designs, commonly called Heavy Mikados and Light Mikados. 
There were 233 original USRA Heavy 2-8-2’s built plus another 957
copies, covering 23 railroads.  It was an extremely successful
design. 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. 

BLI’s models follow the original designs closely.  Railroad
specific variations are not modeled on these locomotives.  In
most instances we offer two locomotive numbers for each railroad, and
we are offering a painted model (black) with no lettering.
