First used on the Nippon Railway in Japan in 1897, the 2-8-2 class steam locomotive was nicknamed “Mikado”, meaning “emperor” in Japanese. Gaining popularity in the United States before WWI, numerous 2-8-2 locos thundered across American high iron. For 2008, Lionel offers two Mikados that feature the RailSounds sound system. The Texas & Pacific Mikado is TMCC equipped, and the Alaska Railroad Mikado operates with any standard transformer.
