Can never have too many cabooses
Santa Fe warbonnet and Army cabooses would be awesome.
I don't have much hope for cabooses, from plastic molds, at least ones I would buy. The market, decades ago, was saturated with generic N5c's and northeastern cabooses with every unprototypical lettering, now available to be cheaply fished out of junkboxes, and relettered to your wildest dreams. Cabooses are the often distinctive and unique signature car of a railroad, like what Brother Love builds, and why he builds them. I don't think the Big Two or anybody else can capture that in plastic molds. I am sure Menards will have to do one, but.....
Halloween and Christmas rolling stock that have not been made yet. Jimmy how is the fishing going. Have you ever posted pics of your layout on the forum?

Make the army first aid hut into a motor pool area and make a army headquarters bldg.
Make a Launching pad for the missles on the flatcar. Got to have a place to deliver these cars.
S guage track and switches.
Thanks Phil
I'd like to see single story, wooden appearance structures of waterfront design, including buildings located on wharves. O scale boats are also in short supply, and fishing and small coastal freighters would be welcome. With Menards' stores bordering the west and southwest shores of the Great Lakes, such merchandise would not appeal only to Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coast modelers. Just don't forget that brick and stone structures are not located on wharves.

Swfford,
I live about 2 hours from Dickens Elevator. Old Milwaukee area. Rock Island ran to Estherville, IA about 10 miles further east of Dickens. Albert City Grain (Weaver cars) about 20 or so further east and south.

I wish if Menards plans on continuing making building, they use something other than what appears to be Swathmore board.

If they make a diesel it would have to be a diesel-electric locomotive type that was used in Wisconsin and Minnesota between 1950 and 2000. It would have to be a type operated by NP, GN, SOO, WC, and MILW. What would it be?

Ditto on all of that, I got trains, I need train related things and such.
S Gauge....anything in S Gauge.

I'd like to see an O Gauge CNSMRR Merchandise Despatch car. The North Shore was a pioneer in early TFOC service.
Aristocrat produced this and about 15 other road names in G Scale.
Jimmy Sutter,
How about a "Homer City" train shop with interior lights, trains, and a few fishing poles; it would be quite the seller.
Hmm.. given that Menards is in the grocery business, where the value of shelf space is important, which they demonstrate by mostly giving it up to trains only seasonally, I don't see them offering a lot of the small train related stuff.

Army Caboose
Me too. Santa Fe warbonnet caboose to go with those gorgeous cars and hoppers.

The only way the Williams by Bachmann GP30 diesel-electric locomotive would be made for Burlington Northern, Chicago & North Western, Chicago Great Western, Soo Line, and Wisconsin Central is if the people at Menards commissioned special runs of those road names and paint schemes on the GP30.
