| First up in the Powerhouse Classics is a series of the USRA heavy 2-8-2 design. There were 233 original USRA heavy 2-8-2’s built plus another 957 copies, covering 23 railroads. It was a most successful design! The USRA heavy 2-8-2’s used pretty much the same running gear as the HEAVY 2-8-2’s, but the boilers were 10 inches larger in diameter and they had larger cylinders as well. Tractive effort was about 10% higher for the heavy 2-8-2’s. BLI’s models will follow the original design closely, but will allow for some detail variations such as headHEAVY type per prototype practice, as well as road and footboard pilots as appropriate for various railroads. There will be two locomotive numbers offered for each railroad, plus a painted model without any lettering.
