McKeen car build

This is My build of Trainguy Ken's McKeen Car!  Based on the MTH doodle bug frame and motor ,  I will not be using it in it final  rendition, Its still a !/4'  too high , had wanted to move the floor up further into the body shell but the fly-wheel gets in the way , and the floor should be slit and the front truck moved forward about an inch, I will probably Install an under the floor NWSL power Unit . The lettering is also temporary!    The basis for this version is the only  known Photo , of Soo Lines, MeKeen as well as a fuzzy colorized penny postcard

Looks pretty good now Dave, even as its first rendition!

I've been researching an "only known photo" for one of my projects too. I found this interesting photo of a Mack 15-tonner diesel locomotive switching a New Haven boxcar for the US Rubber Company in my old hometown of Providence, RI. I really want to model this specific locomotive since I already have a kit for the body but I can't figure out what color it should be. Gotta keep looking around!
