Reply to "The S.D.C.&E.Rwy. McKeen Car "Cuyamaca" is finally on her way!!!"

It looks like this topic has been idle for a while.

I have been very interested in McKeen Motor Cars, particularly the two 70 foot cars that ran on the Denver Laramie and Northwestern from Greeley to Denver.  My goal, at this point, is to build an O scale model (actually Proto48) to display at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum.  Because it is only for display, I don't plan to power it.

I have been gathering information from the Nevada State Railroad Museum.  I was able to see #22 while it was being restored and took lots  (not enough) of pictures.  I have a stack of drawings of various detail parts.  Unfortunately, many are copies of copies of copies and dimensional data isn't clear.

Right not, I'm working on CAD drawings to use to 3D print many (if not all) of the detail parts.  It can be laborious work but I'm enjoying it.  The devil is in the details and there are a lot of details.
