Join Trains.com Staff Writer Lucas Iverson as he reviews the Lionel Legacy O gauge (1:48) USRA 2-8-2 Heavy Mikado Soo Line No. 1003 , featuring video of the model operating on the Milwaukee Lionel RR Club and the 1:1 scale steam locomotive too! This Legacy model boasts detailed construction, stack and whistle steam, and is easily controlled via the Cab-3 remote or Bluetooth Cab-3 app. The real No. 1003, built in 1913, currently operates in excursion service in Wisconsin. Lucas notes the model has a few prototype inaccuracies, and explains how Lionel offers a replacement part to remedy the most critical concern. With a minimum radius of O-54, the No. 1003 is one of six available variations in this latest run for 2025.
