Pages 104 - 109 American Flyer



New York Central USRA Light Mikado #1849

This scale-sized model represents the first all-new American Flyer steam locomotive in four decades. Introduced by the United States Railroad Administration in 1918, the USRA Light Mikado proved to be their most popular design, running on railroads throughout the country. The American Flyer USRA Light Mikado represents the latest level of detailing and features found in some of the best Lionel O gauge steamers. Equipped with the TrainMaster Command Control system, the new S gauge locomotive will still run using only a conventional transformer with most of the features, including many RailSounds effects, enabled.  Add a TMCC Command Base and a CAB-1 Remote Controller to unlock all of the features and sound effects available. A simple one-wire hook up to most AC transformers will have you on your way to true walk-around, remote control railroading. A matching caboose is also available separately.

FEATURES:
  • Produced from all-new tooling
  • TrainMaster Command Control equipped—able to run in Command Control Mode or in Conventional Transformer Control Mode with most American Flyer and Lionel transformers
  • RailSounds 5.0 sound system with new intelligible CrewTalk dialog and more TowerCom announcements, each with different scenarios depending on whether the locomotive is in motion or stopped
  • Realistic operator-controlled effects such as the water injector activated by the CAB-1 Remote Controller
  • MultiWhistle effect simulates blows at different steam pressures, long and short attacks, and even extra quilling with each whistle blow
  • DynaChuff synchronized chuffing that shifts, automatically via locomotive speed or manually via the CAB-1 Remote Controller, among 15 levels of intensity to simulate a locomotive running light or battling against a heavy load
  • Independently adjustable volume control—lower the level of background effects such as chuffing with the CAB-1 Remote Controller while keeping operator-controlled effects such as the whistle and crew announcements at full volume
  • Many operator-controlled effects including CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements are accessible in Conventional Transformer Control Mode
  • Powerful maintenance-free motor with momentum flywheel
