1908 Mckeen Railmotor (SP)
The Mckeen Motor Car Company was based in Omaha, Nebraska and produced a series of unusual and modern railmotors between the years of 1905 and 1917. These were often powered by small gasoline engines but were later upgraded to diesel and steam powered variants and had a unique windsplitter front.
This particualar car isn't 100% accurate to any real Mckeen car but was rather inspired by V&T 22 and SP 9 but maintains the level of realism as if it were an actual model.
