Btw, the name "Mikado" refers to steam locomotives with a 2-8-2 type wheel arrangement. A "Mikado" type has a pair of pilot wheels at the front (2), 4 pairs of driving wheels in the middle (8), & a pair of trailing wheels at the back (2), which results in 2-8-2 (according to the "Whyte Notation"). (Small lesson for my non-railfan followers.) •Materials Used• -Black No. 2 Ticonderoga pencil -Printer paper •What I Listened To• (Nothing)

The itch to draw train has struck again.

Ended up drawing Missouri Pacific MK-63 Class "Mikado" No. 1427 hauling a train at around 45mph.
