The Power of 2-8-2 Mikado Design:
The Dollywood Express No. 70 features the classic 2-8-2 "Mikado" wheel configuration, known for its power and stability. This wheel arrangement includes two leading wheels on a single axle, eight driving wheels on four axles, and two trailing wheels on a single axle. The 2-8-2 configuration became popular in the early 20th century for its ability to handle heavy loads and navigate challenging terrain. Originally used in logging and freight operations, locomotives with the 2-8-2 configuration were prized for their excellent traction and efficiency on steep grades, making them ideal for the rugged landscapes often found in North American railroads.

This design showcases the steam locomotive at its peak, combining impressive power with elegant engineering. The 2-8-2 Mikado was not only a workhorse but also a symbol of industrial strength, helping to connect remote areas and transform the American economy. By recreating the 2-8-2 design in model form, this project allows builders to delve into the ingenuity of early locomotive engineering and pay tribute to one of the most successful steam locomotive configurations.
