Hey Guys,
Here's a pretty straight forward hint for next week's O gauge release. The question is, what road name do you think it will be?
Happy guessing!
Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

Green Bay and Western
Cheeseheads shall be happy 
Hopefully not another UP or Maine Central. Maybe a Seattle & Yakima RR, yellow is one of their colors.

I was going to guess Rail Box but apparently the door needs to be black.

Easy.
Minion & Chiquita Railroad
My crystal ball, although slightly cracked is it is going to be a Chicago Northwestern box car............Paul
I'd sure like to see a yellow CP Rail to go with my green one! I'll take a GB&W one too though. Go Packers!!
DTI or MILW
What, me worry?
And the bill of lading is what ??? LOL...
School is starting, a Ticonderoga pencil car? Be gentle with me,a long day! LOL
I'd like to see a car just like this with no road name so I could make it my own. I'm thinking a cigar transport car with cigar labels all over it.
Frisco?

Union Pacific or Dots candy!!
One of the clubs is doing a Dots car this year, so not at all ridiculous. My wife would love it. I prefer a Sno-Caps car.

Menards has done one already, bless their little hearts.
Illinois Terminal
Rusty
Delaware and Hudson or Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo.
I'll get to the bottom of this!!!

The shade of yellow and the all yellow color scheme suggests two railroads:
DELAWARE & HUDSON
GREEN BAY & WESTERN

Maybe they will have another run of Chicago Northwestern boxcars ? Cnw would look great behind my new MTH RAILKING SCALE RSD-5 in CNW colors & logo !! & MTH CNW caboose !
Greenbay & western would be good to !
delaware & hudson is also good !
ACY is good as well !
A SPRECHER SODA CAR would be Great ! Menards carries most of the flavors of SPRECHER sodas !!
It could be some never produced UNION PACIFIC scheme. The Roof and ends are cropped out in the photo.
Andrew
I finally figured one out I think
It's going to be a plain Yellow boxcar

We can not see the ends and roof of this box car. Someone cut them off with the editing tools.
Silver could mean Union Pacific
Black could mean another CNW scheme or a Green Bay & Western scheme.
Green could mean an ILLINOIS TERMINAL variation.

Here it is!

I like the fact that this was modeled with the unpainted roof. I have seen more like this in my area with the unpainted roofs as opposed to the painted roofs as modeled by other mfgr's...
cant wait to see what's on deck next !!!
Very well done!
Dad, is your reply a teaser to what the next thing might be coming out having some kind of deck on it. I know you know what is coming down the distant road. And I know you can't tell your sons because you know we can't keep secrets LOL.....Paul
I have the best kept secret! LOL
I like it.
