The Pacific-type
locomotive evolved as the need for power and speed increased. First,
the four-wheel leading truck delivered stability at the faster speeds.
Second, six tall drivers provided pulling power and speed. Last, a
two-wheel trailing truck provided support for a larger firebox. The
sum of this design was the 4-6-2 USRA Pacific.
The USRA designation for light and heavy locomotives was a function of
the track's ability to withstand weight. Excessive axle weight could
damage the rails, loosen fastenings, and also cause damage to the
locomotive. The USRA deemed a maximum of 54,000 pounds per axle as a
light locomotive. The USRA Light Pacific weighed in at 277,000 lbs,
with a 73 inch driver diameter and a boiler pressure of 200 lb/in.
BLI's models follow the original designs closely. Railroad specific
variations are not modeled on these locomotives. In most instances we
offer two locomotive numbers for each railroad, and we are offering a
painted model (black) with no lettering.
NOTICE: Due to
insufficient boiler diameter in the USRA Heavy and Light
Pacifics, these units will not have smoke units. |
