Steam Locomotives


U.S.R.A. Light
2-8-2 Mikados

As you probably know, we have been planning to bring you the Nickel Plate "H" series Mikados for quite some time now. After doing some checking, we have decided to make this an actual "series" of engines that will be completed over the course of several model runs.

As most of you know, we at the Division Point have a penchant for MIKES. (After all, we have done five types already!!) These were truly the "general purpose" engines of the steam era . . . in many cases outlasting their much larger and more powerful brothers and sisters until the very end of steam operations.

To accompany the Nickel Plate "H"'s, Division Point and Boo-Rim Precision will catalog the following U.S.R.A. Light Mikado Derivatives:
