Bowser USRA Lt Mikado, Deluxe Kit build

[Bigsteel]

Josh, there is a distinction between a heavy or big mike and a USRA heavy mike. The C&O did have some "heavy" mikes...but they weren't built to the USRA Heavy design. IIRC, they had a couple of their large mikes as part of their collection prior to most of it being shipped to the B&O museum.

oh,ok.i new they had heavy mikes but i didnt know the distinction between them and the USRA mikes.so it looks like im getting the light mikes from bowser.ill have to get the C&O super power book for more detailed drawings and pictures. but while looking for models of C&O heavy mikes,thers not alot of C&O stuff out there is there? i figured there would be more in the way of locos seeing as how big C&O was.

Unfortunately, the mikes were cut up instead

--i dont understand why they would cut something up like that :| ,its such a waste.id rather see it as a park monument than as a new import car.--josh
