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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As for the USRA Light Mikados, the USRA built 625 total, with 641 copies built  after the USRA ended control. With copies, over 50 railroads used the USRA Light  2-8-2's. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Industry-leading Model Features:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Paragon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System featuring ROLLING THUNDER\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Integral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC  and DCC\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Precision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed  Operation\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e All Wheel Electrical Pick-up\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Die Cast Body with Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Premium Caliber Painting\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Prototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Many Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Grab Irons, Piping, Whistle,  and Bell\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Prototypical Headlight and Rear Light Operation\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Prototypically Accurate Sounds for the USRA 2-8-2s\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Operating Microtrains-compatible Couplers\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Will Operate on Code 55, Code 70, and Code 80 Rail\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Minimum Operating Radius: 9.75 inches\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for  premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.
