Menards is a home improvement business that caters to home owners and professional builders.
The toy line and "Trains Stuff" they carry is simply a sideline that helps to get people into the store.
Yes their products may not necessarily be perfectly prototypical for every release. They use poetic license to offer products that most customers of this line would be inclined to purchase.
If you want greater graphic precision you need to purchase from someone else or decorate it yourself.
And we all know too well how the major manufacturers of toy trains have done in the graphics department.
For most of us, close is good enough and the price point is spot on.
After all how many prototypical freight cars have lettering on them stating they were built by Lionel or MTH? Yet many of the complainers have rolling stock like this on their layouts.
Just enjoy the products Menards puts out and if it doesn't meet your needs simply pass on it.
I'm certain that Mark of Menards is looking to create great products whose graphics are more prototypically accurate.
Just work with them vs. against them.
