The 14” flat is the best car that Menards sells in my opinion. The removable plastic faux bearing caps make it easy to adjust the gauge. I put a few coats of Age-It-Easy on the deck. Like every other Menards car, you do have to lubricate the bearings. The majority of my military train is made up of them with diecast that I got on sale at American Excellence (though I don’t see any 1:43 US military stuff on sale there at the moment). With the bearings lubed, a single loco can pull a dozen of the 14” flats easily.
