Thank you Mark the Menards Train Guy. I received my latest Catalog 03/20/2020 in my last Train order from Menards. Thanks for Posting "the Latest Catalog" (Number 3? --- 04/01/2020) on the forum. I have very little complaints about the quality of the "stuff" that Menards sells --- plus the prices bring me back to the l970s and 1980's. When I use your 11% Rebates it brings the price of a $20.00 car below $18 bucks -- a real bargain. Some of my favorite cars are the Cabooses that have illumination inside and alternating flashing lantern lights--they even have double electric pickups to stop light flickering (just $24.95 each). Another favorite is the 14 3/4th inch "Scale" Flatcars with a Laser Cut Deck. This car is fully sprung and has rotating bearing caps! $29.99 each. I have 4 Corgi Die-Cast PCC (President Conference Streetcars) with the paint scheme of my home town of Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati Street Railway sold all 50 PCCs to Toronto Canada in 1950. As a tribute to one my favorite PCC Streetcars, I will take all 4 Cincinnati PCC Streetcars and mount them on 4 of Menards 14 3/4th inch flatcars. That is the way they shipped them to Toronto in 1950. Actually, every train item Menards makes is a winner--unfortunately I can't buy them all -- but I have a sizable collection of them. The buildings are reasonably priced and I have 2 of them.....the Morton Salt Company and the Pepsi Company . Sincerely yours, railbear601
