Canadian National 2-8-2 Mikado Pack

This is the heavily updated version of my earlier CNR 2-8-2 Mikado Pack, which includes an additional paint scheme as well as resized numbering on number boards, and fixing the lettering on the 1919 Mikado. The old version has been removed from the workshop, and you will need to subscribe to this one.

• Introduced: 1919
  
• Production ends: 1960
  
• Top Speed: 80
  
• Tractive Effort: 243.42 kN

Three paint schemes are included:

• Canadian National w/ 1919 Logo
  
• Canadian National w/ 1923 Logo
  
• Canadian National w/ 1943 Logo

The Canadian National Railway's Mikados were very unique for railfanners of the time, because even up until their demise in 1960, you could easily tell which ones belonged to the Canadian Northern Railway and the Grand Trunk Railway prior to CN's creation. Canadian National, in a cost-saving effort, simply painted over the old predecessor railways' logos with their own name. In the case of the Canadian Northern, CN simply painted "National" over "Northern", and in the case of the Grand Trunk, the black-and-white "Tilted Wafer" logo was painted over in red and white, bearing the name "Canadian National" instead. In 1943, Canadian National went through a corporate restructuring in an effort to separate its image from that of its predecessors. A new logo was devised for use on passenger locomotives only, a circular logo with a maple leaf inside it. Steam locomotives with the 1923 tilted wafer logo were used in freight service from that point on. The decline of steam through the 1950's saw Mikados with both logos used widely in freight service until they were eventually scrapped by 1960.

All of these liveries are included in this pack, with the ex-Canadian Northern being introduced in 1919 to reflect it being purchased by the Canadian Government upon its bankruptcy in 1918. The ex-Grand Trunk livery is introduced in 1923, when it went bankrupt and was absorbed into the then-new Canadian National Railway. The third livery is introduced in 1943.
