I've been hoping Menards would expand the intermodal/container line. Keep them coming! Mark, any chance there will be a  well car only offered in the future? It would be nice to have few to use with the 20' containers and the new 40' ones.

Hi Rob,

That's an interesting idea. Now that we sell the containers by themselves, an empty well car might be something to look into. Thanks for the input!

Love the Santa Fe ones you have now and those Chessie ones look great too.

At first I didn't understand why my favorite home improvement store was making it's own line of O gauge train stuff.

Then it hit me.  Menards sells what you need to add on to a house or build an out building.

This all a ploy to get us to add on to our houses or build out buildings.

I'm on to you guys

"Hi Rob,

        I am seconding the idea for Menards to sell empty well cars, preferably sooner rather than later.  

I'm seconding (third-ing?) the idea of offering empty well cars, now that there is a growing selection of containers to put in them (Atlas O does this). One could conceivably acquire a string of well cars over time and economically equip them with a random-looking assortment of modern-looking containers, without having to figure out what to do with all those Yang Ming containers one would ordinarily have acquired in the process.

Viva Variety!

That's exactly why I've held off ordering any more cars. I planted the empty well car seed with Mark and he was quite receptive to the idea. Hopefully!
