Here is a Kato 126-0211 CB&Q 2-8-2 Heavy Mikado Steam Locomotive & Tender #5510. The USRA Heavy Mikado, oftentimes referred to as the “Mike”, first saw service after World War I, under the United States Railroad Administration. Using a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement (one unpowered axle, four driving axles, and one unpowered trailing axle), this wheel setup allows the locomotive to be built with the firebox behind the driving wheels instead of above, allowing a larger capacity firebox and therefore more power and speed than a similar 2-8-0 steam locomotive. Model Features: New semi-automatic front coupler for double heading capability Detail parts (with the exception of coupler trip pins) are factory installed Prototypical side rod motion
Introduced at the turn of the 20th century, the 2-8-2 was an innovator breaking from the traditional manufacturing of locomotives, and featuring a larger firebox paving the way for greater speeds at a higher rate of power! Before we knew it, the 2-8-2 also known as the "Mikado" found itself in rail yards around the world from the United States to the Congo hauling freight from stop to stop. The Mikado would undergo a temporary name change after the Pearl Harbor bombing in 1941 shortly going by the McArthur, before eventually going back to the Mikado name after WW2.
