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\u003eAs 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\u003eBLI'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\u003eIndustry-Leading Features:\u003cbr\u003eParagon3 Sound and Operation System FEATURING ROLLING THUNDER with Authentic Sounds and Prototypical Operation in both DC and DCC environments\u003cbr\u003eIntegral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003cbr\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation\u003cbr\u003ePremium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Schemes\u003cbr\u003ePrototypical Light Operation with Golden White LED Headlight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct Information:\u003cbr\u003eDie Cast Body with Die Cast chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort\u003cbr\u003eTraction Tires for Additional Tractive Effort\u003cbr\u003e(2) Operating Micro-Trains #1015 or Compatible Couplers\u003cbr\u003eSeparately Applied Handrails, Ladders, Whistle, and Brass Bell\u003cbr\u003eWill Operate on Code 55, 70, and 80 Rail\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Minimum Radius: 9.75\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndustry-Leading SOUND Features:\u003cbr\u003eOperates in DC and DCC (use DCMaster for DC Sound)\u003cbr\u003eRecord and Play Operation - Records and plays back sounds and movements once or repeatedly for automatic operation\u003cbr\u003e16-bit Sample Rate for exceptional high frequency sound clarity\u003cbr\u003ePlayback Whistle for multiple whistle lengths and patterns\u003cbr\u003eChoice of 3 selectable Whistles\u003cbr\u003eAlternate Whistle\/Horn where applicable for locomotive with air horn and steam whistle - both the main whistle and alternate can be easily played\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable bell ringing interval for faster or slower bell\u003cbr\u003eNumerous user-mappable functions with available keys\u003cbr\u003eJohnson Bar or Power Reverse Sound at Direction Change\u003cbr\u003ePassenger Station Ambient Sounds - Controlled with Function Key\u003cbr\u003eFreight Yard related radio chatter - Controlled with Function Key\u003cbr\u003eLumber Yard Ambient Sounds - Controlled with Function Key\u003cbr\u003eFarm related radio chatter - Controlled with Function Key\u003cbr\u003eCrew Radio Communications - Controlled with Function Key\u003cbr\u003eMaintenance Yard related radio chatter - Controlled with Function Key\u003cbr\u003eDemo Mode for display and demonstrations\u003cbr\u003eGrade Crossing Signal - Controlled with Function Key\u003cbr\u003eSimple Programming with Integral DCC Decoder\u003cbr\u003eAutomatic Forward\/Reverse Signal - When activated, stopping triggers and stop whistle toot.
