Has anyone tooled up and made HO scale versions of the Thrall 60 ’ - 8" truss type centerbeam flatcars?? Anything coming on the horizon???

I know ExactRail makes / made a HO version of the 60’ - 8" opera window centerbeam cars.

You mean besides the McKean kit versions that were manufactured many years ago and still might be found at train shows or maybe eBay?

I have 2 of the McKean oval or opera window kits.

I have not seen a McKean 60 foot truss type centerbeam but I think they have been produced.

I believe that you are correct. I think there’s one listed on ebay right now:
