In 2022, BLI is bringing out our second production of USRA Light and Heavy 4-6-2 steam locomotives, commonly called Light Pacifics and Heavy Pacifics!   There were 20 original Heavy Pacifics built in 1919 for the USRA program, and all 20 went to Erie Railroad.  From 1923, numerous copies were built, and many railroads operated similar locomotives.  There were 81 original Light Pacifics built in 1919, and these were delivered to ACL, B&O, GTW, M&O (GM&O), and L&N.  Subsequently, each of these railroads built copies, and several other railroads operated locomotives with similar dimensions and equipment.  The Light Pacifics were limited to 54,000 lbs load per axle, versus 60,000 for the Heavy Pacifics, and this allowed the Light Pacifics to run on most main lines.  Our Heavy and Light models follow the original USRA designs closely.   Railroad specific variations are not modeled on these locomotives.  Many Pacifics used the same 10,000 gallon tender as the USRA Mikados, and our models uses this 10,000 gallon tender.  In our 2022 production run, we are building mostly Heavy and Light 4-6-2's that were quite similar to the USRA prototypes, but were not part of the USRA program.  We have selected well-known locomotives with attractive paint schemes.  Additionally, we will offer one unlettered Heavy Pacific and one unlettered Light Pacific.   Both are painted black, with graphite firebox and smokebox, and are ready to be decorated and run on any railroad you like.       Industry-Leading Features:    Product Information:  Paragon4 Sound & Operation System featuring ROLLING THUNDERTM  Authentic Sounds and Prototypical Operation in both DC and DCC environments Integral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC Precision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation Premium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Schemes Prototypical Light Operation with Golden White LED Headlight   Die Cast Boiler Body with Die Cast chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort Traction Tires for Additional Tractive Effort (2) Operating MicroTrains-compatible Couplers Operating Headlight Separately Applied Handrails, Ladders, Whistle, and Brass Bell Will Operate on Code 55, 70, and 80 Rail Recommended Minimum Radius: 9.75 inches   Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.
