...r style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">With dwindling passenger traffic on its Reno to Minden, Nevada run, the Virginia & Truckee procured a new passenger-baggage-RPO car from the McKeen Motor Car Co. in 1910. No.22 sported a bright red livery and could accommodate 54 passengers. The distinctive loco plied the route from downtown Reno to rural Minden until 1947. It was subsequently cut up and used as part of a hardware store. V&T McKeen Car #22 has been miraculously restored and now transports visitors around the grounds of the Nevada State Railway Museum in Carson City.
This well-executed model is a rivet-for-rivet accurate replica of the prototype. The unique character of the McKeen's wedge-shaped body is one of those rail-oddities that stands out in any collection.
