New Locomotive: Paragon3 USRA Heavy and Light Mikado 2-8-2

This was reviewed in the December 2019 Model Railroader Magazine and is now available on the web from Broadway Limited Imports. These were 1910s era locomotives, but some still served until the end of the steam era, the late 1950s. As such, the Union Pacific version is a reasonable option for my time period.

This article gives more information; the locomotive was mostly used to pull freight trains. Broadway limited have assigned two road numbers for Union Pacific, 2482 and 2490.
