USRA 4-6-2 Light Pacific

The USRA

Welcome to the TPF3 Edition of the United States Railroad Administration (USRA) 4-6-2 Light Pacific. She'll pull a commuter real nice. 

Slight History

During the first world war the federal government enacted the USRA as an experiment to nationalize the railroads during a wartime emergency. This lasted from December of 1917 to March of 1920. They introduced standardized locomotive and rail car classes known as the USRA Standard.

Changes occurred quickly as once President Wilson issued the order for nationalization. All the railroads were organized into 3 divisions, East, West, and South. A reduction in passenger service occurred to help with decongestion of freight. The current number of locomotives and rolling stock was augmented by new production of up-to-date and standardized types/designed to be the best that could be produced to replace outdated equipment.

Pacific over Atlantic

This light 4-6-2 comes with the following;

• Random Numbers! - They are not the TPF2 style either - No more having to use a cargo slot for the numbers! 
• RECOLOR! - I didn't do many recolors for TPF2 - Though the New of the USRA is recolorable! 
• Model Citizen Couplers
• MrCheesecake sounds 
• 4 versions - W & W/O Class Lights, as well as 2 White Wall versions (I do love them white walls on express trains)
• 8 Camera Angles
• New Transformator in use! Look for speed based little pieces that make these locomotives just that much more alive! Train sway, particles, and slight lean in turns! 

No asset versions right now, will come later.
