This is an excellent NEW HO-scale USRA LIGHT MIKADO  2-8-2 Steam Locomotive for the  PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD (PRR) with a TENDER- road #9630 #9627 - let us know if you have a preference..  This locomotive comes ready-to-run and the model is from BROADWAY LIMITED IMPORTS PARAGON2 SERIES. It's a beautiful quality locomotive. This locomotives sounds will work in DC mode as well as DCC. The picture may show a different road number but it is the same model.

For the first time in the Paragon2 series, BLI is bringing out the USRA Light and Heavy 2-8-2 designs, commonly called Heavy Mikados and Light Mikados  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.
