Beauty.
I see lots of them on the real railroads......good to see scale versions!!
Home RUN! I am with Dave, I see them all over the place! Great addition!
Ordered a set of 4 well cars and extra containers, and the container lift tractor (and the free lighted cars). Menards does a great job for us O-scalers! -Ken
This is a great idea at a nice price. How well do the fit into the Atlas deep well cars? There are several other containers out there already, some fit better than others.
Menards. It doesn't appear there are slots to accommodate the Lionel intermodal Mi-Jack crane. Am I correct? They look great and I'd lake to add them but I need those slots. 
Thanks
The Lionel Mi Jack was set up to use 1/64 size containers not scale containers.
Maybe it could be redone to do the scale containers but I would not count on it.

Dave, thanks for the info. Very helpful when I look to add containers.

LOL good thing your a wood worker and know how to build that stuff! but don't forget the green grass! LOL
Dad, you don't have to fool us. Menards has placed a trailer in your driveway a few short steps from your house....Those Santa Fe containers are a real eye catcher...........Paul
Too bad that they are not scale, I would get some of the Schneider ones.
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!

Splendid idea- container ala carte if you will.
