With all the flat car offerings, I'm surprised there wasn't one with Santa and his sleigh, or riding on a tractor!
Or even better a Menards delivery truck!
I'm certain my Dear wife kidnapped Mark until after Christmas! long after Christmas! LOL

Ha, thanks to your efforts in sharing the Menard's products with the forum (you really should be considered the Menard's O Gauge Ambassador!!!), my balance is a little higher considering recent purchases of the Power and Light Plant, Train Station, and Red Owl Grocery (along with a few die cast pieces).
That said, I too feel a bit of withdrawal as I think their products are quite excellent. Hoping their next building is another home run.
My local Menards store shelfs have been thinned out quite a bit, All the hopper cars and tank cars are depleted. Still have a lot of the Army rolling stock and the flatcars with Komatsu backhoes. The boxcars are mostly the green and blue pastel varieties and they have at least one of every building left. I think thats gonna be the last for 2016
. I did order two more Milwaukee Road hoppers and the free UP trucks they should be in on Monday when the store gets its weekly delivery.

I finally made it to one of the new Menards that just opened in my area. I didn't get any train items, but they got me for some storage containers for some train things I already have. My those are BIG stores, you can't see it all in one visit!
You Know Bob, you do such a great job with the Menards Trucks changing them to whatever you wish. This would be a good time to take one of your engines and go the other way and make it a Menards engine for your Menards only layout. Then post picture and a video!
If we had Menard's here, I'd be there at least once a month, trains or no trains. The next time I'll get to visit one is June when I visit my hometown in Wisconsin. Maybe next Christmas I'll be ready to order some items online.
I hope Menards introduces another industrial building that needs railcar service!
I've searched already, but don't see this answer. Was there a group of NS "heritage" hopper cars announced? It seemed to me that the N&W, PRR, and RDG cars all came out of nowhere, and everyone knew all about them. Are there more like this coming?
It is lean times when there are no posts from Mark. But closing in on Christmas there could be an announcement or two that will knock our socks off sending us to apply for home equity loans to buy all the good things that will be coming from Menards.................Paul

Sounds like at this time, maybe, they will be on the planning stage at some point in time. but as of right now, no..

I do believe with all the products that have come out in the last few months, we could be in for a little lull, just like last year.. But.. who knows, Mark will surprise us when he knows. It's nice to know the OGR forum is the first to know when a new product is coming out.. Bob
I'm praying no new products come out until New Years, my cards can't take it
I love the heritage hoppers. Although, I really wish they would come out with a stock Norfolk Southern black/white hopper. I could see my layout with a nice, long modern coal train. 
Twenty some days, before Christmas is no time to have a lull. We should be getting hit with three or more products a week. I wonder, if Menard's had several hoppers all set to be delivered, when so many flaws turned up on their Reading hopper. Therefore, putting everything on hold until the nesscescary corrections can be made.
Or else they are in Hanjin shipping containers!! LOL

I have never seen so many asking to be teased.
Reminds me of a frat house in my college days! Difference is Menards eventually comes through! LOL
