@kj356 posted:Still wishing for a McKeen Car in O Gauge. At one time MTH had said they were going to make one but never did.
Here is a past discussion on this on the forum;

But I found searching MTH Doodlebug on e-bay there is 3D printed McKeen Car shell that will fit on a doodlebug but looks like a rough casting. If you search more on McKeen car there are a lot of great photos and some showing a HO Brass version.
I just wonder if it is something that MTH might consider reviving and build? Or now Lionel has the old MTH doodlebug molds and is producing the doodlebug perhaps they might consider doing a McKeen body for it? Or if we are able to get a clean 3D printed version of one? I saw the one running at the Nevada state railway museum. Sure a lot of people would still be in interested. Lots of road names and paint schemes real and fantasy.
This is my Mckeen car. The kit (you saw on e bay) is produced by Ken Harpin , from here on the forum. They are a pleasant kit to build, and was my first experience with printed component's and after a bit of a learning curve, I found the material easy to work with! As laterally, every one of the cars were built to the needs of the buyer , every one was deferent! Mine was based on the one and only Mckeen the soo line had in the 1920's , details are o scale castings, and I rearranged the windows and door on the front hull. I model 2 rail scale and plan on a scale drive Trane. There was one produced in brass a number of years ago, if you find one expect to pay a couple of thousand for it, ( a U.P. prototype) Kens kits allowed me to Have a McKeen car, For a good price and quality, with out having to scratch build it. Note there are several post on this kit with photo's. If you have any modeling skills dont be afraid of it.
