I am so excited about Menards participation with O Gauge Railroading. We have had Menards in Indiana for almost 20 years now and every stitch of lumber that has built my last three layouts was purchased there.
I also feel that Menards entering the O gauge market is a very important step. With the kind of resources and buying power that Menards has, I think this will spur some competition within the market, especially in the starter set arena. The flat car deal that they offered in late 2014 is a great example of these resources being used to deliver a product at a great price. Take notice folks, there is a new game in town and it's called Menards.
