@BradFish1 posted:Are the Mikados the old K-Line tooling?
To add to what Tim stated. The K Line Mikados are the USRA design. The L1 Mikado is Pennsy specific as indicated by the bel paire firebox.
Getting back on topic. I think I'm in for one of those Mike's. 1627 with the doghouse tender and red oxide roof.
Hopefully Lionel can get a handle on the reds and avoid a silver smokebox.
