Good morning, steam fans! Today’s featured steamer is PRR 2-8-2 L1s Mikado no. 1827. The L1s was the most numerous steam engine on the PRR, with 547 built.
My model is an MTH Railking product. It was the first modern era engine I purchased, in 2002. It was originally equipped with MTH’s basic Locosound system, but needed an upgrade to PS3 last year. Other modifications include a “real” coal load, crew, painted handrails and driver tires, and tender marker lights.
No. 1827 is shown passing PRR E8 A-A pair nos. 5793 and 5896. The three engines are all semi-scale, so they look good running together.
