Both look great!!!! And someone guessed right last week!

I'm sure that these road names will make a few of our forum members very happy.

I love all Menads train stuff.  I just  glad there is not a store in the Anniston/Oxford, AL area.  I would be broke and divorced!  :-)

I love both box cars. The KATY box car reminds me of a American Flyer box car I use to have.

OMG!!  Menard's is killing me with those New Haven's.  How can I resist?

Table layout.  This EP-5 is pulling 4 of those gorgeous Menard's NH boxcars with 5 more NH Lionel boxcars, plus a NH work caboose.  No doubt, it can pull a few more....

Overhead layout.  An MTH NH F-3 ABA is already pulling 19 cars.  I t runs 100 feet on the same track as as a SF F-3 ABA pulling 19 cars.   Do I add two more NH's?  Sure....It's gonna make it more imperative that I monitor that line more closely.  Truthfully?  You see that last MTH tank car?  That's the one we all want Menard's to produce.  Not the usual smaller, double-dome.  The large, modern, single dome, NH tank car.

On with Menard's....on with the Knickerbocker brewery!!!  Haha, just sayin'.

Both cars are very nice and with two yellow hummers for free, a nice deal.

Dave

Great job Mark and Menards! - I’ll buy anything New Haven.  The free hummer is a great perk too.

Thanks for all that you’re doing for the hobby

Chris

Another great deal ! How can you go wrong.. a 19.99 boxcar and get a 29.99 Hummer for FREE....!!!!

I been hoping for three box cars from Menard's. State Of Maine, Boston and Maine and New Haven. One down two to go. Time for me to put on my thinking cap and come up with some new additions. A good place to start maybe up north across the border. 

Menards is sure coming on strong in the o gauge market and doing it without any motive power.

The new boxcars look great, but I'm holding out for a free box truck or stake truck before I buy something.

Now we are talking box cars. Good choices Mark and crew. I got to order a few of the Katy. Dad has been sort of low profile lately. Could be building the new extension to the layout to hold the new products he already knows about or he is in the orient overseeing production..........Son with no number.............Paul

Make that two of us - if the Santa Fe box truck was back as the giveaway - I'd be ordering !!

If you like the cars, order them now. The trucks you want will only be there for so long so get them now. The box trucks are great but don't wait.

Dave

Great job Menards!  They look great and the paint schemes look prototypical, or at least close enough for many of us.  Can anyone verify?

Still hoping for some box cars in the  PRR circle keystone scheme.  No doubt those would be hot sellers!

Son number ______. I'm in China building shelves for all the new Menards products coming out.they won't let me leave till I'm done. This could be a long stay.... LOL

I just received my 4 pak of the REA cars and when I got the E-mail from menards last night I ordered the 4 pak of the new haven cars. I would love to see the oxide brown cars with the Old New Haven script herald. My wife hopes Menards never comes around our area, she says she probably will never see me again.

Menards posted:

Congratulations on addressing the long-term shortage of 3RO27 Katy boxcars!  What a price for the set of four, too!

Dad, hire someone who knows woodworking to build those shelves so you can come home! LOL

Both are sharp, my wish list grows!

Menard's when you have time, I would like to see you produce these three box cars.

Nice cars, Jim. I'll be in for all 3.

Dave

DAVID1,

I hope they produce them. Glad you like them.

I would also like the pac man schemes, lots of colors. I had allot of the Lionel ones back in the day.

Dave

Another busy weekend, but, here are four new NH boxcars, plus the free lighted Hummer.

Table layout...

Overhead layout...

The LED lights in the Hummer are really bright.  It fits here, without having to drill any holes.  I also temporarily mounted it on a foam block, which I will probably need to keep there so it can be seen from the floor.  Since none of those wires/cables can be seen, you get the idea.  A little paint will be necessary. 

Also, I try not to cut those large plugs on the 4.5 volt adapters to the power supply.  I'm sure they can be cut, then spliced to the mate.  Anyone who has learned anything to the contrary, please comment.

On with Menard's.

Jerry

Here we are and it is Monday. I wonder what the announcement will be from Mark, crew and Bob ( who already knows ). Maybe a tank car, a new building ( REA building ), more gondolas. Waiting patiently.......Paul

LOL...I'm sworn to silence.....

Paul 2,

I hope its one of each of the items you mentioned. 

Im still waiting for them to ship my Starbucks Truck!!  Weeks now!!

Starbucks Truck ???  did  I miss something ?

Found this on their website. Strange that we didn't see an announcement yet.

How do they do it?
