Outstanding job, Menards. Your involvement in bringing new, affordable items to our hobby is very exciting. Many of us buy the majority of our layout buildings supplies from you already and this is icing on the cake. And thanks again for supporting OGR magazine and this forum.

Anything Alaska is a winner in O-Gauge. Nice job with this car.
Should sell very well. I like that we get the Menards realeases FIRST on the forum. Keep 'em comming. In the future I would like to see cars offered in 3-pack or 6-pack sets as well as individual pieces.
These are very nice.
Would love to see Menards offer some ore cars.
I know one OGR big wig that will like them!!!!
I'm going to Columbus Ohio next month. I'm going to visit a Menards....hope they have some of the plain flat cars or buildings!

SantaFeJim,
We enjoy how receptive the OGR Forum Members have been and we are excited to release new products on the forum! We are also trying to build an email newsletter list to spread the word about weekly promotions and new arrivals. If anyone is interested, you can sign up at www.menards.com/email.
As far as multiple packs go, we have dabbled a bit in selling this way on occasion. It is definitely something we can do more frequently if the response is good.

Keith,
This is something we are looking to explore. I cannot give specifics but we have some coal hoppers and tank cars that should be arriving in late 2015 or early 2016, barring any setbacks.

AMCDave,
We do have some excellent stores in the Columbus area! It's hard to say what our inventory will be when you get there next month but if you go and can't find something, a team member can assist you. Otherwise, you can find all of our train stuff online!
Keith, thanks for the updates. The Alaska RR has a pretty good following. How about a Menards switcher for the Christmas season.

Bill,
Down the road, we would love to enter the switcher market but plans have not been hashed out at this time.
