This design proved to be extremely successful and widely adopted. While the USRA Heavy Mikados shared much of the same running gear as the Light Mikados, they featured boilers that were 10 inches larger in diameter and larger cylinders, resulting in approximately 10% greater tractive effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe USRA Light Mikados were produced in even greater numbers. The USRA built 625 original locomotives, with 641 additional copies constructed after USRA control ended. Including these copies, more than 50 railroads operated USRA Light 2-8-2 locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this production run, we’re excited to offer several new paint schemes that are sure to catch your attention, featuring railroads such as the Milwaukee Road, CB\u0026amp;Q, New York Central, Canadian National, C\u0026amp;O, and Union Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to these road names, we’re also offering \u003cstrong\u003etwo versions of Southern Railway No. 4501.\u003c\/strong\u003e One version represents the locomotive in its current black paint scheme, while the second depicts the locomotive as it appeared when temporarily lettered as Central of Georgia “MacArthur” No. 699—the WWII-era nickname for the 2-8-2 Mikado—during a special weekend run from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Summerville, Georgia, in September 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModels will be available with Paragon4 Sound DC\/DCC as well as in our Stealth DCC-Ready series.
