A Broadway Limited Imports model of a U.S.R.A Heavy 2-8-2 Mikado type steam locomotive used in freight train service.

The steam era of American railroading, has always been a popular topic amongst my fellow railfan buddies, and model train enthusiasts.

This Broadway Limited Imports model of a Baldwin Locomotive Works / U.S.R.A heavy 2-8-2 Mikado type steam locomotive, was the average everyday locomotive used primarilly on freight trains across America's mainlines during pre diesel era times.

Just like the prototype, this locomotive is quite powerful, and can pull a good size consist of rolling stock coupled aboard. It is even "Sound Equipped", so you can also enjoy the whistle, bell and chuffing sounds as well.
