HO K-2 Mikado 12-VC Tender Paragon 4 #1182 C&O (BLI7597)

The HO K-2 Mikado locomotive is a remarkable model representing the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway's powerful 2-8-2 design. Built by Alco-Richmond, these locomotives entered service in the early 20th century and quickly became a workhorse for the C&O. The model features an authentic paint scheme that reflects its historical appearance in the 1940s, complete with details like large Elesco feedwater heaters and distinctive flying air pumps.

This model includes a Paragon 4 sound and control system that enhances the experience with accurate sounds and synchronized puffing smoke. The precision drive mechanism ensures excellent slow-speed operation and heavy load towing capabilities, making it ideal for model railroading enthusiasts. Additionally, it is equipped with a heavy die-cast chassis and handcrafted brass components for increased tractive effort and realism.
