Just got this in the mail from Menards"New truck offers"

That is a deal, you get the flats for $16.50 each and the cars $5.57 each 

That is a lot of Santa Fe pick-ups.

Menards does it again! Each new offering is as good or even better than the one before! I'm assuming the trucks are 1:48? Mark are we saving the buildings for a building blitz at Christmas time? I can only hope!

I got the email also.  I was thinking of canceling the emails but then I'd read about it here on the form so I guess I'm stuck with these offers. 😀

Gotta love the pickup truck with Santa Fe Warbonnet paint scheme!  I will be ordering one flat car just to get the truck.

 

Happy railroading,

Don

The thing that has always bother me about cars and truck on my layout is the lack of people driving them.  I have opened some up and added drivers, but will there ever come a time when they come that way.  These are great offerings, especially like the F350s...just wish someone was driving...there are just so many parked cars on can have! 

I order the f350 set, I have the Menards store and garden center buildings and these will look great parked in front. 

It's a shame there fords! Nice deal though

     Bossman284 if you drill out just the rivet head take the vehicle apart and put your person / people in the vehicle put it back together. Drill out the rivet area with A 1/64 drill bit and tap the hole, put in A screw and washer to hold the vehicle back together. I know it is A PITA but you got to do what you got to do to make things look right / good. If I can do it I am sure you can do it if you want to bad enough. Choo Choo Kenny

OK...got a couple of emails about brand comments.  Lets not turn this into a shootout about automotive brands....

 

Thanks,

Alan

Canceling your emails Spence?!  Do you know how many people will be out of work at Menards if you did that?!

Great post Chris! Spence cancels his e-mail and I have images of Mark the Menard's guy taking turns eating at our houses and sleeping in the spare rooms! The good part of the image is his paying board with Menards train stuff!!

I really wonder about assuming that these are 1:43 or 1:48. 

 

Recently, I ordered some nifty Menards tractor-trailers that were in the supposed O-Gauge Train Stuff area of their website---well, they were 1:64 (S gauge) !!!

Can anyone verify that these new trucks are 1:48 or 1:43?

Thanks

Fords coming from China, oh my, the Donalds is not going to be happy about that.

Better buy them up now!

I like the Santa fe truck but just one will do.

car set arrived today. Does anyone have any suggestions how to make license plates with my printer? Thanks

John, if you click on this link you'll see the Menards website offer for one flat car/one truck for $19.99. 

Picked up my new Menards Santa Fe flat with truck, like the new packaging and the trucks seem to been improved from my earlier ones. Also received the set of Ford trucks, my favorite is the Menards panel truck nice graphics. I like the new flatbeds on the trucks with the reflectors.

Keep them coming Menards,

New packaging simple box with clam shell

The new flatbed with stripes.

Good looking trucks for the layout. Menards pricing is pretty darn nice also.

Chris,

 

Thanks for posting.  I missed the 7 truck set offer for some reason.  I ordered a set a few minutes ago.
