Help me understand here......
I like the Menard's box cars so I may be bias...but the cars are similar to WbB 40 ft box cars but with better paint and tampo. The Menard's box cars weight more than stock Weaver 40ft box cars. The Menard's 40 ft box is larger than a scale PRR X-29 box car so fit in well with 1930's through 1960's era layout....or any 'toy' style operator.
Agreed detail is simple but for under $20 VERY well decorated.....and almost nothing that breaks off easy. Look GREAT rolling by at speed. So what's missing or what can they do better?? thx
Derailments with boxcars frequently where nothing else does. Truck issue?
