ACL Fred posted:I understand their strategy; to product road name that will sell in volume. But there are some of us who model the fallen flags of the past. Therefore I would like to see Menards offer their rolling stock in undecorated versions that the modeler could letter and decorate to their favorite road name.
Understandable, but you can do what hobbyists in O gauge have been doing for generations: repaint existing stock. Really, there’s no need for Menards to tie up even more inventory and production time making undecorated models for the small segment of the market interested in custom paints. Menards’ focus has been to appeal to those who enjoy “fun” paint schemes, often of the fantasy variety.
