What are the new products Menards will be coming out with?? Any word if they are going to do Tubular O Gauge Switches???? I bought some straight sections from their website, and it is exactly like Lionels Tubular O without the the Lionel Stamp on the ties. Good Stuff!

There is another post that was put up a day or two ago on their newest products they revealed. Not sure if that's what you're talking about.
The 12 new products that were brought out Sat. Should be on line today.. Bob

Not really into their freight cars or vehicles, just the Tubular Track since Lionel Stopped making it. Just interested if they were going to come out with switches for their track.
We had a great time at the show. About 100 miles each way from Wausau. We got there early and spent some time talking to Jason from Menards who is in charge of the Paul Menard #21 stock car and the Matt Crafton #88 Truck NASCAR show vehicles that were on display. Talked to Bob and Mark, picked up the 4 new Nose Art boxcars and the REA flat car. Bought a lightly used Weaver Milwaukee Road VO-1000 cheap. The grease was hard as a rock, I was able to get it cleaned out and relubed and it runs great! Also picked up a Marx tank car to fill out a set. There was a lot more that I was interested in, but the money only goes so far. We will for sure be back next year! Time to start saving up! Thanks to everyone that put this show together!
Since this train show was held in Wisconsin, how about a box car representing St. Croix fishing rods. These fishing rods are made in St. Croix Wisconsin. They are also, the rods I use.
Any ideas on how to obtain extra copies of the Dec. 2018 mini-catalogs like the pull-out one inside my Classic Toy Trains magazine?

Burlington Bill,
We had some extra catalogs printed for our retail stores. The Wichita stores should have stock of these in the train aisle for 99 cents each.

Cabinet Bob,
Sounds like a great Train show, see if you can get Mark & Menard' to set up a show for the Pittsburgh/Monroeville area, here in Pa! We still have a lot of Train guys here in this area.

Menards should have a booth at the April York show. (I hear there will be some room available
)
Note to change to April

Mark, thanks for responding.
I have NEVER seen any of these at EITHER of our two stores! It would be great to be able to buy a dozen or so of these. I have grandsons who visited for Thanksgiving & we took them to see "a Menard's" (what's that? - they don't have a store within 200 miles) and they flipped out when they saw the train cars & buildings, but no catalogs. Miniature thumbnails on a computer screen or phone screen aren't good enough. Your little catalog is a TRUE 21st-century "wishbook."
Thanks for all you and Menard's is doing to keep O-gauge toy trains viable and a true gateway to a lifetime of a great hobby !!
Bill
