Menards Hopper Car Review | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

rogerpeteOGR Forum Member

I had a couple gents email me off line with questions on my 8 pack purchase. So I did a video so you can see the cars & the sizes. I'm not an expert- I just pieced some clips together with the free video program on my laptop .

I used my 736 Berk, as well as a lionel operating hopper and a KLine car for comparisons. Hope this helps folks that might be on the fence. I picked up an 8 pack with the 11% sale = about $15.50 per car. For me, a fantastic deal.

I took the video on my porch for better lighting. Seems basements are lacking in the natural light department.

Mine look great behind a Premiere Mike and Consolidation. I haven't coupled the M-1 or I-1 to them yet yet
