Backbone of many steam engine fleets, the 2-8-2 Mikado was a perfect blend of size and power for most general freight assignments. Over 1000 were built, with many in service until the end of steam in America.
This detailed, weatherproof model features a factory-installed multi-train control system decoder for use on DC or DCC systems. An encapsulated gear drive combined with a powerful Buhler motor drives four axles, and the loco has two traction tires, plus twelve electrical pickups to provide smooth, steady power. The articulated drive system lets you use the engine on sharp radius curves as small as R1. Digital, electronic sound features include bell, whistle, brakes, air pump and feed water pump, as well as exhaust synchronized with the motion of the wheels. Built-in volume control can be adjusted for indoor or outdoor operations, and sound functions can also be remote controlled (with the multi-train control system). Other features include a built-in smoke generator, reversing headlights, positionable cab vents and firebox door complete with flickering light inside. The locomotive has a four-position selector switch for the mode of operation and a voltage limiting system, plus a general-purpose electrical socket with a safety feature. Weight 7,400 grams / 16 pounds 5 ounces. Length 93 cm / 36-5/8".
