The only 2-8-2s and pure freight locomotives delivered to the Florida East Coast Railway were built by ALCo-Schenectady in 1925. Numbered 701-715, these 15 Mikados continued operating until the 1950s despite the Great Depression of 1929 and the calamity of the 1935 Labor Day hurricane that only rubbed salt into the wound for FEC, destroying their revered Key West Extension. All 2-8-2s were scrapped and replaced by diesels during the 1954-1955 period.
I kitbashed two units from the FEC's fleet of 2-8-2s, 711 and 713. The former represents a locomotive as delivered new, with a raised headlight and whitewalls. 713 is depicted as she would have looked like a few years into service, with a centered headlight. I'd like to thank Tigerko15 for helping with the animated bell and enhancing the 2-8-2s' compatibility in TS12, and 'seabo' of the TRS Discord community for research and creating the air compressor meshes for the model. The original USRA 2-8-2 mesh is by Ben Neal of Subpar Productions.

During the first World War, the United States government put the nation's railroads under the control of a government agency: the USRA (United States Railroad Administration). The lasting legacy of the USRA was a group of standard locomotive designs, which were used by railroads across the country. The locomotives were designed to use a minimum of materials to conserve vital materials for the war effort. To serve as many roles as possible, the USRA created a set of 12 standard steam loco designs.
The first to be delivered was Baltimore & Ohio 4500, a light 2-8-2. This engine is currently on display at the B&O Railway Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. The USRA engines came very late: even 4500 served for only a few months before the war ended; many USRA engines were not delivered until after the war.
During the USRA era, the light 2-8-2 was the most common design with 625 delivered. Following the war, the design was copied by many railroads, including several that had not received any originals. Once these copies are factored in, there were 1266 light 2-8-2s. In those 1266 engines must be at least 40 skins that could be done. Well... get to it, then.
