Frito Lay..............
I'm going to guess a Pepsi delivery truck, in 1:48 scale on the back of a CSX flatbed. The flatbed is going to be 11.5" long. It will sell for 24.99. Buy one now and you get a Goodyear boxcar free!
Pure speculation.
Look what just arrived! That’s right; we’re introducing our brand-new “medium-sized” flatcar! Not only does it feature an 11-1/2’’ CSX flatcar with a beautifully painted woodgrain deck, but it also comes equipped with premium metal trucks and operating couplers. But this impressive piece doesn’t stop there! Sitting atop the flatcar is an O scale, die-cast beverage truck. From its bold blue paint and chrome accents to its Pepsi® branded decorations, this lifelike truck has it all. It even includes side doors that actually open! SKU# 279-3443
Measurements (approx.)
Flatcar: 11-1/2"L (coupler to coupler), deck measures 10-3/8"L x 2-1/2"W.
Beverage Truck: 6”L x 1-3/4”W x 2-1/4”H.

I would like to point out, as I did in another thread, we are switching over to the Yellow Goodyear Boxcar as the free item. This offer is good until Saturday, July 23 at midnight CST. Sorry in advance, there are no substitutions.
Thank you,

Mark, what is the "new tooling" in reference to, the flatbed or the delivery truck?
Basil posted:Mark, what is the "new tooling" in reference to, the flatbed or the delivery truck?
Hi Basil,
We opened all new tooling for both the new 11-1/2" flatcar body as well as for the die-cast beverage truck. The flatcar uses the same premium trucks as can be found on our boxcars.

Mark,
That Pepsi flatcar looks an awful lot like the Deuce and a Half flatcar:
Stu
People will have to add their own CSXT reporting marks and numbers.
So mark when will we see more buildings????
Hello Mark, will the flat car be the same with as the one with the truck? I believe this car is scale or very close to it.
The width of this flat would be great.
John
WOW . this blew me away !! Nice Job Menards !!! Ordered 5 for friends and getting 5 free cars.. What can I say but THANK YOU !
NOT LionelLLC posted:Mark,
Stu - That is a keen observation!
This is essentially the same tooling that we opened for the flatcar with Deuce and a Half. The dimensions are the same, however, we had to retool so that this flatcar would navigate O27 curves. If you recall, the Deuce and a Half was recommended for O36 curves and larger.

Nice looking car but again to new of a vehicle for me. but still a very nice car.

Hi John,
The deck dimensions are the same. However, coupler/truck assembly has been mounted differently so the turning radius is much improved.

The Soo Line and Historical Technical Society has a page on Facebook.
This slide was posted there. Dec 1988 North Fond du Lac, WI. Floyd Schmidt slide. From David Lockwood collection
This is a Soo Line flat car that can be made with the 14 3/4" flat car.
