Do we have any O scale traction fans here?

There might not be much on the market (thank you MTH for your Railking PCC and Semi-brills!), but with a bit of imagination you can scratch build your own I suppose. 

I just finished 3D printing a prototype for an interurban car I am making to fit over a MTH PCC car base  (smaller nozzle next time for the detail).  A few changes to the lights, fitting the final shell to the actual base (plus bottom detailing), some dummy couplers and it'll look pretty nice!

nice looking car

Any plans for selling the shells??? Looking good!

Might be a market for these - actual prototype was what?  Any idea what trucks should go under them?

Sweet!  Nice job.

3D printing is nifty just not sure about the longevity of the printing material, especially if outsourced to the 3rd world— who knows what’s in that stuff.

I think 3-D is cool.

Why would it be outsourced to the 3rd world?  One of the most attractive aspects of this as a modeling tool is that it's reasonably available to any modeler.   As for what's in it, that's all pretty readily available information.

I wish there was more Pacific Electric traction available in O scale and 1/29 scale.

I modeled the Milwaukee Electric Lines in O scale, had 200' of mainline under wire and was one of the first if not the first to use DCC in my trolleys. We had 8-10 person operating sessions, it was a lot of fun. Below are some pictures of it:

Very nice and inspiring.
