McKeen Car - work in progress.

Aghhrrrggghhh....a McKeen car!  And no technology to shrink one down to O gauge....you spell that "E-N-V-Y"...

If your going to keep 4 wheel trucks. I would convert an USA trains diesel motor truck. 

Drill out the gear for a one piece axle.

Really neat

Looking good.

I don't have many regrets in life, but buying a Rich-Art reproduction litho American Flyer passenger set instead of five McKeen cars for the same price when they were available new is one of them.

This is a really nice model, 3d printed and plastic body (I think), nicely done, G gauge.

Mine will be all metal, tinplate, lots of brass, standard gauge. I'll have to make up a pattern to cast the roofs, (just got the first trailer car roof printed up).

Hoping to make these sometime after Spring York, pretty busy until then with other stuff (Challengers, B&O E1A's, the GG1). Might have a prototype at Spring York. Maybe!

Moe’s is definitely 3D printed plastic. He is looking into adapting them to 3 rail STD Gauge.

Kirk,

What five McKeen cars were available from Dick Meyer, i.e., I bought two trailers from Dick but he produce four different trailers?  

Bob Nelson

Bob, I just meant five McKeen cars, not five different models.  You know how I like multiples of the same item!

Kirk

One of our expert machinists did one in 1/8th scale.  Russ

Chiloquinruss-

Wow!  That is really nice.
