{"product_id":"bli7599","title":"HO K-2 Mikado 12-VC Tender Plastic Model (BLI7599)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAn HO-scale K-2 Mikado steam locomotive with a 12-VC tender, this model reproduces the 1940s-era C\u0026amp;O Mikado that powered a wide range of freight service. Built by Alco-Richmond, the K-2 featured a booster for added tractive effort, enabling it to pull heavy trains and handle manifest freights, local freights, coal trains, and work trains across the railroad. This road-name-specific interpretation captures the era’s look and character on a modern layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eInside, the model delivers premium performance and authentic detail: Paragon4 sound and control with synchronized puffing smoke and variable timing; a built-in DCC decoder with Back EMF for smooth slow-speed operation in DC and DCC; a 5-pole can motor with a skew-wound armature; an all-brass boiler, cab, and tender bodies on a heavy die-cast chassis; rubber traction tires for improved pulling power; plus a wealth of separately applied details—handrails, grab irons, ladders, piping, cab glass, whistle, and brass bell. The Mikado faithfully reproduces era features like the Elesco feedwater heater and flying air pumps, with prototypical lighting (headlight, number boards, cab light) and included crew figures. Minimum-radius operation is 18 inches, and the model is designed to perform reliably on DC or DCC layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadway Limited Imports (BLI)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933672423476,"sku":"BLI7599","price":764.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/BLI7599.jpg?v=1782313828","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/bli7599","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
