I haven’t seen any posts from Menards or others on the forum for their new round of intermodal containers. The container cars are available too:

Unfortunately they are too small.
small how? will they look ok in k-line intermodal cars? the menards cars have lousy trucks so I will not buy them, but if the containers are ok I would get a bunch of them.
A 2TEU container is 40' (10"in O scale) long and 8' (2") wide, the Menards ones are 9½" long and 1 7/8" wide. I have no idea about the K-Line cars.
I, too, would have bought a few if they were the proper size. Please note that I understand Menards market and these should fit in quite well.
It would be nice if they offered a variety pack of containers.

These containers, if not used in a well car, would be great to fill in an empty spot or a corner of a layout as a container facility.

Not sure about the Menards containers but the wells in the Menards Intermodal cars are big enough to accept Atlas 40' containers. I just picked one of these cars (without containers) at the local Menards store.
These are just my opinion,
