Was in my local Menards today and found this PRR with a tarped and chained load. I don't know if it's new or old but I've never seen it on line so I had to have it. What do you think?

I think I wish there was a Menards in my neck of Pa!

Rick,
It looks good! Did you go to Menards in Warren, O? It wasn't there last I looked Massillon was the closest to me, 2 1/2 hours. Warren is at least an hour closer.
Thank you

Well, that's two of us...and probably quite a few more. Nice car! I would buy one for sure.
I bought one of these last year. One of my favorite cars I own, and simply do not understand why they haven't offered more flats with loads like this. One of their nicest cars, period.
Sure is nice. I too wish we had a Menard's near us.

They are developing the Detroit market. I think we have two so far, west around Novi/Canton is covered, and one is still coming to Southgate/ Taylor (about 7 miles for me, I can hardly wait). Finally, I can't see them skipping the north side; I thought there was one around 15&Gratiot already?

Yes Mark, it was the Warren store. They only have the train stuff at Christmas.
Looks cool! Wish I had one for my 0-27 style PRR work train, pulled by a BEEP of course.

Thank you! I will have to keep it in mind if I get up that way. I can see it isn't far for you!
That's cool! We are jealous out West here we sadly have no Menard's:-(
Was it ever offered on-line? I don't remember seeing it in their catalog! I like it, a lot!
I do not think it was offered on line, it was just in store last Christmas season also this flatcar with truck bodies.

That goes for us out east as well!
Wonder how the decision is made as to what is offered on line and what is offered only in stores! Probably leave it up to Cabinet Bob! LOL
Menards at York with everything they offer in trains, in store and on line plus Mark! How great that would be!! Just sayin!
And maybe a guest appearance of Cabinet Bob!! LOL We could have the meeting in the stands Bob!!

Anybody looking for the PRR flat with tarp the Naperville, Il store has 2 on the shelf as of this morning I think you can order from there.

Is that flat car semi scale?I would think at 20 bucks it is.Nick
I'm pretty sure it is Nick.
Sorry for any bubble bursting, but yes, that PRR flat is one of those $7.99 semi-scale flats with a $12.00 tarp load.

The PRR Tarp load Flats include the updated premium metal trucks & wheels, it is a beautiful Flat !
You are correct on the trucks.they are the improved ones.I bought mine online last year from Menards website....Bob
Very cool looking car. Wish we had a Menards in the Baltimore area.
