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.
