There were 233 original USRA Heavy 2-8-2's built plus another 957 copies, covering 23 railroads.  It was a most successful design!  The USRA Heavy 2-8-2's used pretty much the same running gear as the light 2-8-2's (also available in the BLI BlueLine Series), but the boilers were 10 inches larger in diameter and they had larger cylinders as well.  Tractive effort was about 10% higher for the Heavy 2-8-2's.
